Details
Abbey Farm is an historic site which in recent decades has been the centre of a farming operation working across east Suffolk. It comprises a large range of traditional and more modern agricultural buildings which have been in varying degrees of agricultural use until now. To the western side of the site nearest the Church is a linear complex of early 17th century red brick buildings most recently used as cattle sheds. They keep their original roof structures but now have concrete floors.
Also at the western edge of the site is a collection of late 15th century timber framed barns, one being the only surviving building from the former priory. The barns have concrete floors throughout and various 19th century alterations. Towards the southern end of the site is a range of red brick buildings, some which have been re-roofed and converted into loose boxes.
