Farmstead record ACT 053 - Farmstead: Babergh Heath Farm

Babergh Heath Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a regualr multi yard pattern with full plan and U-plan elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in a village location. There has been a significant loss of working buildings with the modern sheds on site. The farmhouse appears to have been replaced by a modern dwelling. (S1-4)

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.
