T'was a lovely house, and was auctioned off in 1957. Lady Higham was the last owner of the property.

Here are a list of all the rooms which were mentioned in the Sales Catalogue:-Garage, Wash-House, Butlers Pantry, Kitchen, Boot Room, Main Hall, Billiard Room, Dining Room, Drawing Room, Morning Room, Conseratory, Library, Domestic Sitting Room, Bedroom, 8 in total.

Lived on Barnfield Street in the fifties and used to climb in/ break in to what was probably a garage at Bank House Sandy Lane. Remember there being a wooden plane propeller on the wall. Anyone else remember it?
