Property info

The Brookside Heritage Homestay, is a traditional Syrian Christian mansion built in the year 1915. Crafted by highly skilled artisans, this home can be described as a delicate blend of the wood based Kerala architecture and the brick based British architecture. Surrounded by lush greenery, the serenity of this picturesque abode will never cease to charm you.Situated by the bank of a tributary of the Meenachil river in Kerala, the house is a little recessed from the main road making it an idyllic getaway Initially constructed as a single structure, it was expanded over time to add more rooms. The Ara and the Nilavara form the core of the house. The Ara is the enclosed storage area that was used to store paddy. Nilam means floor and Ara means covered area. The Nilavara is a secret storage area where ornaments, documents and other valuables were stored.Large rooms with high ceilings and sloping roofs, ample ventilation and lighting are the main architectural highlights. This form of architecture easily counters the wettest climatic conditions coupled with heavy humidity and the blistering tropical summer
