Icehouse 190m east of Firle Place is a 19th-century ice storage structure located in East Sussex, England. The building represents the practical agricultural and domestic infrastructure typical of substantial country estates during the Georgian and Victorian periods, when icehouses were essential facilities for food preservation before mechanical refrigeration became available. The structure survives as physical evidence of the methods by which perishable goods were stored and managed on estates of considerable standing. Such icehouses were typically constructed in partially sunken designs and insulated with sawdust or similar materials to maintain frozen conditions throughout the warmer months.
