Farmstead record ASN 025 - Farmstead: Hill Farm

Hill Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a model farm patter with the farmhouse detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a village location. There has been a significant loss of working buidlings with the remaining converted for residential use. (S3-6)

19th C model farm built on the site of an earlier barn. The group of buildings includes a 5 bay timber-framed barn on a brick plinth, which had a granary and milling floor added in the late 19th C. Also present is a group of brick shelter sheds and a brick neathouse. This is a good example of an almost completely intact Victorian High Gentry model farm (S1).

Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.
