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.

Moor Farmhouse, Middleton Moor, is an early 16th century, two storey, timber framed and plastered building with a brick end and raised roof with crow stepped gable (S5-6).
