Full Description
Tudor Grange (Poplartree Farm), Rattlesden. 19th century farmstead and 17th century farmhouse. Regular courtyard L-shaped plan with buildings to the third side, formed by working agricultural buildings. The courtyard is an unusual triangle shape, possibly due to the constraints of the pond. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Only the farmhouse survives. Located within a hamlet (S1-6).
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.
