Description
Muswell Manor is an early 19th-century building, with the rear span possibly being older. It has two storeys and is rough rendered. The roof is steeply pitched and features end stacks, along with two hipped dormers. There are four windows, which are hung sashes without glazing bars. A modern sun porch has been added to the front elevation, and there is a long pentice at the rear. The building is historically significant as it was used by the Wright brothers, the Short brothers, Lord Brabazon, and Mr. Rolls during their early flying experiments at Eastchurch.
