Abstract: |
New House Farm lies in open countryside approximately 1 km east of Poslingford parish church and commands fine views over the Stour Valley to the south. The site appears to have adjoined a small green at the time of the tithe survey, and the property may represent all that remains of a medieval tye settlement. An unusual linear pond which may have originated in the 17th century as a garden canal extends onto this green from the rear of the grade II-listed farmhouse. The farm was a relatively large holding of 190 acres in 1841, and the house is a substantial structure with an 18th century brick wing and a timber-framed core which may date from the 17th century or before. A long and narrow brick structure of the late-18th or early-19th century lies in close proximity to the house at the entrance to the yard, and was probably designed as a vehicle shed with a granary above. It preserves an original 'upper cruck' roof truss, but has otherwise been internally gutted and much rebuilt in recent years during an attempt at conversion. |
