Description
The Studio at Chapel House is a music studio built around 1971 for the composer Benjamin Britten. It features painted brick construction with a pantile roof and plain timber barge-boards, and is a single-storey building. The north-east front has a single doorway to the right with a painted door, while the north-west gable wall is blind. The south-east gable wall includes a long, narrow window positioned high up, and the south-west front has a large casement window that overlooks the adjoining Suffolk fields. This studio was specifically designed as a quiet space for Britten to compose, away from the growing fame that had begun to affect his life in Aldeburgh. Britten lived at Chapel House with his partner Peter Pears.
