The Hodford and Cowhouse estate consisted of a compact block stretching from the Hampstead border to a point north of Golders Green station and also from Cricklewood to Golders Hill.
The estate totalled 434 acres in 1855 and was split into three farms known in 1889 as Hodford (or Golders Green) Farm, Cowhouse (or Avenue) Farm, and Westcroft Farm. There is no record or involvement of a manor house, although one may have stood on or near the site of the 18th-century Golders Hill House.
