I also grew up on the Horley Road, In the Lodge House of Farmfield cottages. In the late seventies to mid eighties. My brothers and I used to visit the 'Haunted house' regularly.
I can remember it was boarded up, but not very well. We used to be able to get in through a downstairs window. I can still remember the beautiful staircases and some or the decoration although it was in a very sad state.
There was also the remnants of a formal garden, we could still see where the beds were laid out and many roses would still bloom. We would also go into what we believed was an old air - raid shelter to the side of the house, in the woods.
It was a wonderful place to have adventures as children and we were so sad when it was demolished to make way for the airport expansion.
I also clearly remember the farm, which was pretty derelict by the time we were these, but still had a wonderful hay barn to play in!
