Reddish House

Reddish House is a Grade II listed residential building in Broad Chalke, Wiltshire, featuring architectural elements from multiple periods. The structure combines features from the era of Charles II and Queen Anne into a coherent whole.

The building was originally constructed in 1525 and later became part of Littlecote farm. During the Tudor period, it came under the ownership of Sir Richard Elyot, who served as Attorney-General.

The house takes its name from its reddish exterior, which stands out in the village landscape. Visitors can still see today the distinctive coloring that gives the building its character.

The property is located in Wiltshire and has a defined entrance from the road. Since it is a protected building, visitors are encouraged to be respectful and observe any access rules set by the owner.

The renowned photographer Cecil Beaton redesigned the interiors in 1947 according to his vision. He added elements such as a water garden and a winter garden at that time, features that still characterize the house today.
