Full Description
19th C farmstead which consists of a range of flint and brick buildings with tiled roofs. This includes a farmhouse with a c.1600 core, an L-shaped barn with 11 bays, two threshings floors and two porches, a cart shed with a granary above and a coach house and stable with lodgings above. The buildings are arranged to face onto a green and appear to have been built to impress (S1).
Tostock House Farm, Tostock. 19th century farmstead and farmhouse with converted buildings. Regular courtyard multi-yard plan formed by working agricultural building, with additional detached elements. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Partial loss (less than 50%) of the traditional farm buildings. Located within an isolated position (S1-6).
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.
