Hi

It has an Italian/Spanish feel to it (but def not in the med!) with the 3 storeys and small windows at the top. They were also keen on the rounded ends.

Given the planting of the small palm/yucca type plants outside the glasshouse It is definately going to be southcoast as these would have been uncommon in the timeframe you mention and were generally grown in the more temperate climes of the UK.

It's an odd one as it has the sash windows which are out of place with the long 'ribbed' windows on the round end.

My guess is that the photo has been colourised.

It's quite unique, I'm sure someone will recognise it!

I would say that style of house was quite a common build throughout Britain during a certain time period. Off the top of my head I can think of at least three very similar properties in the area I live.

Yes.   I once lived in a country mansion just outside Rugby  with  a rounded end.  Coton House,  Churchover  if you want to look it up.

The rounded end probably had "french"   windows  opening on to the garden.

I'd hazard a guess at somewhere in Devon or Cornwall, which would explain the palm type shrubs .... probably in pots and put in the green-house for the winter !

Try also looking around Bath and Somerset,   possibly Frome.

Hi All
Yes this photo has been coloured by restorers, I first put it on as" Mystery House" for restore and colour,thought it would be more identifiable with it a lot clearer, and the colour one is so good.
The origanal photos came from an old album, they are sepia colour, and the paper quite thin. Would that give anyone a clue as to what camera was used to take the pictures?
There are front and back photos on the other thread.
I was also zooming in on the plants, and thought that this was unlikely to be London.
I will check any ideas you all have.
Much appreciated
Maddy
