Farmstead record SEL 028 - Farmstead: Home Farm

Home Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular U-plan with additional detached elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a private track in a loose farmstead cluster. This farmstead survives intact with conversion for residential use.

18th C timber-framed and thatched barn, sitting on a brick plinth. Much of the original cladding has been lost, although some of the original wattle and daub survives on the internal walls. Now converted into a residential dwelling (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.
