Full Description
Manor Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a dispersed plan. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a hamlet location. There has been a significant loss of working buildings with the remainig converted for residential use. (S2-5)
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.
16th/17th C farmhouse of 3 bays, which contains a number of re-used timbers. A number of alterations were carried out during the 17th C and the house was extended during the 19th and 20th centuries. Historic maps show that a contemporary barn was located at the site, but this was demolished during the 20th C (S1).
