In 'Persuasion', what is the name of the Musgrove family's estate?

In “Persuasion,” the Musgrove family’s estate is Uppercross. The Musgroves live in Uppercross, near the Elliot family’s Kellynch Hall, and the estate is associated with Charles Musgrove’s parents and their daughters Henrietta and Louisa.

Anne Elliot visits her sister Mary, who is married to Charles Musgrove, at the smaller cottage connected with the Uppercross family. The lively, affectionate Musgrove household contrasts with the colder, status-conscious Elliot family. Austen uses these neighboring homes to highlight different kinds of family life.

Uppercross is sometimes described as Uppercross Hall or the Uppercross estate, which can cause confusion. Kellynch Hall belongs to Sir Walter Elliot, while Uppercross belongs to the Musgroves. The families’ proximity brings Anne into regular contact with Captain Wentworth, whose sister and brother-in-law rent Kellynch Hall.
