A beautiful, old colonial style mansion overlooking the blue Arabian sea. This bungalow was built in 1862 by Murdoch Brown , an Englishman who came to Tellicherry as a trader of the East India company. Murdoch Brown set up a 300 acre Cinnamon gardens largest in Asia, 10 kms away from this house , which still exists and is the only one- of - it's kind in the country.
In the year of 1900, this magnificent property and the home of the British spice trader known as ‘Judge’s Bunglaw’ was purchased by Mr. T.M.Moosa, grandfather of Mr.Moosa. He belonged to a distinguished Mappila family in Malabar and was a locallite spice merchant.
The ancestral home has been passed on to the next generations and is currently possessed by Mr. Moosa, a known planter, who has carried forward the spice traders’ family till date. He has also converted this home as a homestay to the tourists for revisiting the history of Malabar.
