Red House

Red House is a house from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the late 17th century and 19th century. It features a timber frame that is partly exposed and partly plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of six bays arranged in a northeast-southwest direction, with a southeast aspect and a rear wing of three bays at the southwest end, creating an L-shaped plan with a chimney stack at the junction. There is a rear stack at the northeast end, along with a 19th-century extension beyond it. The entrance and stair hall, dated 1679, is located between these wings.

The house has two storeys. The southeast elevation showcases exposed framing that jetties out, supported by seven scrolled brackets. It features a 20th-century door, four 20th-century sash windows on the ground floor, and two blocked original windows, each with a single ovolo mullion. On the first floor, there are three 20th-century sash windows and two small original windows. The roof is hipped. The southwest elevation also has exposed timber framing.

On the northwest elevation of the stair hall, there is an Ipswich window and a carved gable with the inscription "16 C 79," which includes lunettes and an egg-and-dart soffit. The interior has an ovolo-moulded doorway (restored on one jamb), chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops, and a hearth with a depressed brick arch that has been repaired. An old photograph indicates that the southeast elevation was once brick-nogged, but this nogging has since been removed. The inscription refers to Thomas and Sarah Cracherode from 1679, whose memorials can be found in the chancel of the parish church. The farm was previously known as Goddinges.
