The house looks familiar but I just can't place it. Any ideas?

Could it be Low Hall Cottages or Burrow's Farm, they are in the fields behind the Hockery Brook Pub?

I don't think its any of those Dennis. I looked on Google map and they just don't seem to fit the bill. Mind you there's only a satellite view so its I can't be certain.

your right marlene. it is de trafford house. spent a lot of time here as a kid. I usedto play with their daughter pauline bolton. I once saw betty bolton climbing over the garden gate to go and see a mum in labour. she couldnt open it as there was about three feet of snow.

Betty Bolton was a caring and very good midwife i had her as my midwife three times she was like a very good friend you could rely on.

Yes it is De Trafford House. Betty and Derek (mum and dad) plus Shirley, Pauline, Kathleen and Carol lived there until 1988. Lots of happy memories.
