As a child, Mrs Susan Maycock was told that the old farmhouse at Cosgrove Hall was dismantled and re-erected across the road to the Little Manor site. The auction details above would support this. Inside the front door of the Little Manor itself is a date stone for 1652, the supposed date of the original farmhouse.

Photographic evidence suggests that the two buildings were almost identical in style.
