Farmstead record BMF 048 - Farmstead: Castle Meadow (Castle Farm)

Castle Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Bramfield Tithe map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular U-plan with thefarmhouse set side on to the yard. There is an additional detached element, possibly a cartlodge based on its location at the entrance of the yard opposite the farmhouse. The farmstead sits at the end of a private track in an isolated positon.All buildings have been converted to residential with a new house also being built on site. The detached building has been lost.

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.
