Look on "English Heritage"    Images of England  you may find similar architecture  which may give you clues.

I wonder if it could have been some sort of Institution,   Asylum or Hospital

Good Morning all.
I have spent most of the weekend on " google search" looking up all your suggestions, I found a couple with the rounded ends (not mine) I think my one looks like a 17th century build,what do you think?
I have also been looking more closely at the two photos, and I don't think the two houses are the same.
I am also wondering if the round bit in the coloured photo has been built on,because of the differant style windows.(just a thought) What do you think?
Thanks for all your input.
Maddy.

Probably way off beam Maddy but those plam type plants can also grow on some parts of the west coast of Scotland.

Yes.   Poolewe or Inverewe.  There is a National Trust for Scotland Garden up there.

I would say they are the same house - the rounded bit at the end with the creeper on the walls, and the line of 6 chimney pots.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

I don't think the presence of palms etc, outside should be taken as too much of a guide to location - they could well have been grown in huge pots in that big conservatory and only brought outside during the summer.

Definitely the same house. There is a very distinctive upper row of small windows butting right up against a deeply overhanging roof.

Looks Georgian up to 1830 to me.  The section at the back in the colorized picture looks different, possibly an original house or addition. I see no electrical wires and many chimneys indication maybe a coal firelplace in each room.  An upper class house probably within an estate.  The round section looks just enough out of character to be possibly an addition.

"Restoration Home" (BBC last night) featured 2 properties with rounded bits like yours, in Pembrokeshire, the one being restored was modelled on the one across the water in a serious case of "one-upmanship", apparently. The ruined one "Big House" only had 1 rounded wing left standing but the other (Picton Court, I think) had 2. I think they were 19th C but was not paying attention all the time (dozing I think  ::) )

Obviously a feature of grand houses at a certain period.
