Abstract: |
Red House Farm lies in open arable countryside on the western side of the Fressingfield Road, approximately 2 km east of Stradbroke village. The unlisted farmhouse is ostensibly a red brick structure of the mid-19th century but lies within the remains of what appears to be a medieval moat. At the time of the tithe survey in 1841 it formed a modest tenanted farm with 79 acres. The granary is a red brick and pantiled structure which is shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1884 but not the tithe map of 1841 and is probably contemporary with the farmhouse. It represents a typical East Anglian example of its period, with an open-sided cart lodge on the ground floor (facing east towards the site entrance) and the remains on boarded grain bins on the first floor. The granary was originally reached in the usual manner by an external stair against the southern gable, but is now entered from within. The building is relatively well preserved, with evidence of original red and grey pigment to its timbers and three original louvered windows, each with the remains of vertically hinged internal shutters, but is not of sufficient age or rarity to merit listing. |
