Behind you is Eastley End Cottage, now almost hidden from view. It was restored and extended in the 1960s. Like Coldharbour Cottages, it too is a listed building, but is older by about a century.
On the opposite side of the road is Eastley End House which is 18th century and also Grade II listed. It survives with its Lodge and Stable buildings. Former residents include Captain Temple Hardy (a naval man but no relation to Horatio Nelson’s Captain Hardy), George Edward Cockayne (long-serving Lancester Herald, at the College of Arms), and the Rt Hon. John Sanders (former Private Secretary to Prime Minister Arthur Balfour).
Behind Eastley End House stands an Edwardian house called The Grange. This replaced a farmhouse, Cuckoo Farm, which was mysteriously destroyed by fire along with some apparently valuable contents. Sir Edward Holden, a Chairman of the Midland Bank, lived there around 1910 and
from 1928 to his death in 1948 it was the home of noted flat racehorse trainer, Alec Taylor.
