Farmstead record BUX 032 - Farmstead: Cottage Farm

16th C timber-framed farmhouse with a mullioned window, which uses base crucks within its construction. The house would originally have had a three cell plan, but was extended and altered during the late 16th C (S1).

Cottage Farm, Buxhall. 19th century farmstead and 16th century farmhouse with converted buildings. Dispersed cluster plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Significant loss (over 50%) of the traditional farm buildings. Located within a village (S2-3).

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.
