The Grade II Listed farmhouse is a 500-year-old beamed Tudor building which was once owned by Cardinal Wolsey in King Henry VIII's time. It has been carefully modernised over the years, but still retains its character with oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, sloping floors and low doorways.

History of College Farm

College Farm House has a fascinating history.

It was built in about 1470. The land and house were given to Cardinal Thomas Wolsey on becoming Chancellor by King Henry VIII, as a reward for his work. When Wolsey fell from grace, the house and land were taken away from him and given to Eton College at Windsor. College Farm remained in the possession of Eton College until December 1800 when it was sold and became part of the Hintlesham Hall Estate.

College Farm has been in the Bryce family since 1962 and has been a family home ever since to Ian and Rosemary Bryce and their children Catherine and Philip.

The main crops grown on the farm are primarily wheat, oilseed rape, sugar beet and barley. The highlight of the farming year is of course the harvest which usually starts in the middle of July when combines come in and cut the crops. A very busy time for the farmers!
