It is surrounded on three sides by forestry and is located 335 yards from U.S. Hwy 17. Because of the isolation, the house and its immediate surroundings have retained the integrity of a nineteenth-century farm.\u00a0 The Manor house is the only remaining nineteenth-century building on the site, however, several outbuilding foundations, including a possible smokehouse and kitchen, have been found, in addition to a small, private cemetery. Much of the woodwork dates to the early years of the house, including four carved Greek-style mantels and the pine floors on the first and second stories. The house is a remarkable and little-altered example of nineteenth-century Federal-style architecture and incorporates some of the finest brickwork in Essex CountyAlso on the property is an unmarked cemetery.[3]The historic Linden Manor house is on the Virginia Historic Registry and  National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Manor House (circa 1825) ( Current Renovations of the House )Federal Style house containing a gross floor area of 5,054 +\/- sf. on 4 levelsEntering the English basement level there is a long hall with pine flooring, a large dining room w\/fireplace.\u00a0 The kitchen with a fireplace, blue tile, oak cabinetry\u00a0furnished in casual, farmhouse comfort.

Small, pea rock gravel crunch crunches on the long, scenic driveway, and a quiet calmness floats from the grain fields to surround you and your guests with natural harmony. Casually meander the grounds as green grass tickles your barefoot toes or regally repose sparkling diamonds in early 19th-century architecture and antiquities.
