Full Description
Countess Well Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular courtyard T-plan with an additional U-plan elements set further away. The farmhouse is detached and set gable on to the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated location. There has been a significant loss of working buildings with additional large scale modern infrastructure on site.
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.
