Kesgrave House

Built c. 1812, Kesgrave House was a large country house built on rising ground with a dramatic undercroft and overlooking Playford Mere in the Fynn valley. It incorporated farm buildings from an earlier house at Pogson’s Farm that became its stable yard and service buildings. It was demolished c. 1841 and the site was eventually cut in two by the railway line that opened between Ipswich and Woodbridge in 1859. All that remains of the house site is an embankment representing the site of the undercroft and, separated by the railway line, the remains of Pogson’s Farm, now known as Colonial’s Farm Cottage.
