The Manor house

from the front. I love these old Cape Dutch style homes. This one must have had the thatched roof replaced at some stage, unfortunately with a metal roof. Thatching has become so incredibly expensive here.

Yes, I love everything about them. Super old wooden doors and windows and such a magnificent shape. I like the new profile pic, too!

attractive building

[Babs]

Still looks good with a metal roof

[Renee Salamon]

They are lovely manors indeed - you keep reminding me of a comedy TV series ‘To the Manor Born’ which was hilarious

Lovely place!

It’s just beautiful as is. Isn’t it sad that something as storied and beautiful as thatching has become impossible to have.

Beautiful pic with dappled light on the facade. These houses are so elegant and in white they seem so welcoming under the sun.

I wonder what it looks inside? What a cool capture of the Manor House

[Judith Johnson]

Thatch is expensive here too. I still love to see thatched houses, but they must be expensive to maintain

[Pyrrhula]

A great capture of the house and view on it.

A lovely shot with the green tree and its shadows giving nice depth to this striking building! Fav

It’s beautiful, but too bad about the roof though it really doesn’t detract.

Neat looking building. Nice capture.
