Located on the crest of a low hillock, this building has extensive views to the east and south east. Having been burnt and rebuilt twice, this appealing building has been carefully restored to its former glory. Historically, the house was built as an agent's house by the British Government. A finely carved plaque depicting an arm in armour holding a sword with a Latin motto forms an attractive focal point to the façade. Currently undergoing renovation, its attractive outbuildings, accessed through an elegant porte-cochere around an enclosed courtyard, are integral to the historic character of this fine property.
