Daison Farm is present on the first edition OS County Series surveyed in 1861-2, as a series of three separate groups of buildings spread over 1.7 acres, evidently an established farm complex by then. It is not present on the Cary estate map of the Manor of St Marychurch of c.1775, though a small building shown between plots 37 and 38 is present near the site of the later farm. Elsewhere the footprint of the farm complex and adjacent fields to the south and west, north of Chatto Road, appear as simply part of "Daison Common". The farm is still present on the 1904 edition OS, but had been removed by the 1933 re-survey.

The Daison Housing estate and road network were built on the site of Daison House (SX96NW/120) and grounds immediately to the north around 1928. By 1933 most of the Daison Farm site had also been built over. Of the 3 groups of buildings that on the north west still survives; designed as two buildings/houses it is now split into 1, 2, & 3 Daison Farm Cottages. The large building on the north, the main farmhouse, lies beneath parts of 6-8, and 5-11 Homestead Road, their gardens and the roadway itself. The farm buildings on the southwest lie beneath 46-56 Chatto Road.
