Full Description
Red House 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 end on to the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a village location. There has been a significant loss of working buildings with modern sheds on site.
An interesting and unusual 16th C timber-framed two cell house, with a late 16th/early 17th C parlour extension (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.
