Access to the site was improved when a new path was constructed from Grange Road (although it is not known how the River Skerne was crossed)iv. Previously, the only access to the estate was at the southeast corner, via a path from Neasham Roadv. The new path across the Polam Hall estate was bought for £20 vi. A house was build adjoining this path about the same timevii. It became known as South Villa and later as Neasham House viii.
