Now with other buildings visible in the distance, I can imagine this farm being surrounded by fields only 100 years ago. Sondes Place is located to the north of the A25, and Sondesplace Farm to the south. Having studied the OS map, I conclude that the A25, which splits these two properties, is on relatively "modern" construction, and that the original road might have run to the south of Milton Heath. I feel another visit coming to, to test this theory.
