Benjamin Britten was born in this house on November 22, 1913. The house is 21, Kirkley Cliff Road, Lowestoft in Suffolk. It was Britten’s home until 1934, by which time he had composed his Simple Symphony, based on music written in the house between the ages of nine and twelve.
Britten House as it is now known was bought by Ann and Colin Ceresa several years ago and just opened as a five star guesthouse after complete renovation.
