Farmstead record BLX 042 - Farmstead: Old Farm

Old Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Blaxhall Tithe map. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The yard is laid out as a regular L-plan courtyard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated position. The farmhouse has since been divided and converted into two dwellings. The L-plan has been reduced to a single building.

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.
