3/5 #Suffolk

Here's The Red House, where Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears lived out their lives. Taken last July.

A charming English country house with distinctive red brick construction and terracotta tile roofing, featuring multiple chimneys and traditional architecture. The property sits at the edge of a well-maintained but slightly sun-dried lawn, surrounded by mature trees and lush hedgerow borders. The main house shows Arts and Crafts-style influences with its steep gabled roofs and prominent brickwork, while an attached wing extends to the left. The garden appears established and peaceful, with garden furniture visible in the distance, all set against a partly cloudy blue summer sky.

Composer Benjamin Britten was born on this day in this house on Cliff Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk, England. Now a Grade II listed building, it was home to his family for 21 years. Young Britten is even recorded here in the 1921 census. 🎶 #BenjaminBritten #HouseHistory
