Hi Kopperknob,
This site is really good (though sadly it doesn't help you in this particular case, but might come in useful later):
www.geograph.org.uk
I came across it when I was looking for a farm in Worcestershire.
I suppose the farm might have changed name during it's history. You don't mention a rough date as to when the house/farm esixted.
If it has changed it's name you will be able to find the farm/house on an old map, and hopefully find the new name on a more recent one. The good thing about the above site is it gives map references.
If you still can't find your house/farm you could try phoning the local library to see if they might have something in their local history collection.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck.
Kind Regards,
Paulene.

Try the library local to the house, I never cease to be amazed at what maps and other information they hold, and what verbal information that they can offer.

I used to go past it when I lived in Kirkby in Ashfield. There was a clothing factory near it, so I often travelled there.  I remember there being a windmill (this is about 9 years ago. The farmhouse was in good nick too. I expect there must be even modern photos of it. Perhaps if you look for the windmill you might find it.
