Full Description
Boundary Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular Z-plan with additional detached elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a private track in an isolated location. This farmstead survives intact with large modern sheds on site.
16th C timber-framed and rendered cart shed with a granary above, now used for stabling. This structure has a queenpost roof and diamond mullioned windows on the first floor (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.
