Full Description
High House Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Benhall Tithe Map. The farmhouse is listed and dates to the 17th century. The farmstead is laid out in a loose courtyard with four elements spread out to either side of a public road. All buildings on the north side of the road have been lost. One of the buildings on the south side is now a garate. A cartlodge set further away from the house has fallen into disrepair.
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.
