Full Description
High House is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a multi-yard pattern with full plan, U-plan, and Z-plan elements. The farmhouse is attached to the agricultural range. The farmstead sits on either side a public road in an isolated location. Only the farmhouse and a single barn remain with modern sheds to the side.
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.
