Introduction
Features of Manor Farm include a pond, front garden and a large paddock.
An 1819 Relham drawing indicates elegant poplars and evergreen shrubs within the narrow front garden. A map of 1825 shows six garden plots (possibly vegetables) to the east of the house laid out formally bounded by a narrow hedge on two sides. A pond runs along the whole of the north boundary.
The sale particluars of 1976 lists ‘an unspoiled front garden with mature yews and fine yuccas and ash tree. Then a large moat pond with willow tree and adjoining well all in a large open paddock'.
- History
The original medieval Manor Farm was entirely rebuilt in the early-17th century.
