Abbey Farmhouse

Abbey Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a two-cell lobby-entrance plan and stands two storeys high. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof and featuring a plastered central chimney. There are various 19th and 20th-century casement windows, and a lean-to extension from the 19th century at the front, which includes a boarded entrance door. Inside, the typical and complete unmoulded 17th-century timber-framing is exposed. The farmhouse has a massive central chimney and a parallel service range added to the rear in the 18th century, which has an extended slated roof. The surrounding moat is likely from the 13th or 14th century, suggesting that this site may have been the Grange held by the Abbey of Leiston at Culpho.
