Notification that Raddon Court has been removed from the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. The house was demolished in 2000 following a fire which caused extensive damage. A new house has been built on the site.
Raddon Court is was recommended for delisting for the following principal reasons:
The demolition of the house following a fire in 2000 means that its special interest has been lost; the single storey ancillary range and the very small proportion of historic fabric re-used in the replacement dwelling are not of historic or architectural interest.
