Full Description

There is evidence of a deliberate design to provide a tree-lined drive from an adjoining lane. This is likely to derive from the time that this was a Manor House and may therefore date from the 18th Century or earlier. [1] The farm is approached by a curving track bordered by trees and stone walls that leads off of East Lyn Lane from the A39 0.5 km to the south. [2]
