The farm was built on the site of Hailey Park a medieval deer park that was enclosed in the late 16th century. Located on a crossroads of three bridleways and one footpath. The route running east-west is the old road from Ditchling to Chiltington that is now just bridleways or footpaths whilst that running north-south is an old droving route that possibly follows an even older Roman road that linked the Downs to the Weald. Currently the bridleway links the B2116 near Westmeston to Streat Lane near Captains Farm.
