Feoffee Farmhouse

Feoffee Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with alterations made in the mid 17th century and later. It features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and is one storey high with attics. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a pantiled roof that has 20th-century gabled casement dormers. There is an axial chimney made of red brick, likely dating from around 1662. The lobby entrance has a battened and boarded door that was added around 1980. Inside, the ground floor rooms have unchamfered 16th-century floor joists exposed, along with back-to-back 17th-century lintelled fireplaces located in the hall and parlour. The farmhouse is situated on a moated site that was bequeathed by John Austin in his will from 1432 for the maintenance of the church of Ashbocking and for the benefit of the poor in the parish. Minute books from the Trustees exist from at least 1662, which include references to the construction of the chimney.
