Dairy Cottage

Dairy Cottage is a former farmhouse, marked on maps as Dairy Farm, now functioning as a cottage attached to Framlingham Hall. It dates from around 1600 and is two storeys high with attics. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with double Roman tiles. It features a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The internal chimney stack has a plain rebuilt red brick shaft. There are various three-light casement windows, two of which are old and include transoms and pintle hinges. The current entrance is through a 20th-century porch on the right side of the front. Inside, all framing is exposed across five bays, showcasing studding with reversed braces, plain joists set flat, and chamfered main beams. Several original windows are blocked, but there is no evidence indicating the type of mullions that were originally present. The roof corresponds to the wall bays with five bays, featuring one row of clasped and one row of unstepped butt-purlins, windbraces, and diminished principals.
