Full Description
Maltings Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a loose courtyard plan with the farmhouse set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a loose farmstead cluster. This farmstead survives intact with conversion for residential use. (S2-5)
A 19th C clay lump barn on a base of flint and brick. The barn has 6 bays and 2 threshing floors, as well as a tiled roof (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.
