About Manor House Farm
Manor House Farm is a detached house in Croston, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9RE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975.

Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 is 79.9% below the 2017 sale of £1,632,900, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.
