Capel Manor House is a small modern steel-framed private house in Horsmonden, in Kent in southern England. It was designed by Michael Manser for John Howard, a former Member of Parliament.[1] It was built between 1969 and 1970.[1] The house was constructed on the site of, and within the remains of, Capel House, an earlier mansion built by Thomas Henry Wyatt in Italian Gothic style in the mid-nineteenth century and demolished in the 1960s.[2] The architectural writer John Newman describes the Manser house as "a severe Miesian pavilion."[3]: 307 The colonnades of Wyatt's winter garden now enclose a swimming pool.[3]: 307 The house is an important example of modern architecture in Britain, and in 2013 was designated a Grade II* listed building.[2]
