Full Description
Wallnut Tree 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 an L-plan with additional linear elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead is set alongside a public road in an isolated position. A large detached building and a smaller detached building have been lost representing signification loss (50%).
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.
