Full Description
Mills Farmhouse (Bonniswell's Farm), Laxfield. 19th century farmstead with a listed 17th century farmhouse. Regular L-shaped courtyard formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Only the farmhouse remains with total loss of traditional buildings. A small modern outbuilding on site is present on the site of the historic 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.
