"Is it possible that this is another example of Arts and Crafts architecture?"

It could be Nell, the shape of the windows and relatively low roofline are

certainly reminiscent of that style but I wonder if perhaps it's too symmetrical :-\

What do the other sleuths think ???

I'd guess that the building whose gable end faces us behind the greenhouse is a barn. The post in the immediate foreground was used to hold up a tennis net. At the top of the first, short staircase the capstones look like they may have been stathel stones. The first staircase may lead down to a road/driveway. I was going to hazard a guess at when it was built but looking at the ivy growth makes me wonder how long that would have taken in years.
What about the odd post to the side of the barn, looks like two metal posts coming together at the top in an inverted, narrow V?

Can anyone make out what looks like writing on the backs of the

benches?

I've done some looking into A & C architecture and I think Nell could be correct.

I'm disappointed SL, you forgot to tell us the type of material used in the curtains!  :P :P  ;D ;D

Powers of observation = 10/10!

Hi Joy

Another person with wonderful observation skills, however sadly (and rather amusingly ), it's bird poop.

Didn't notice earlier mention of tennis, shows how observant I am!

The item that I mentioned:

"What about the odd post to the side of the barn, looks like two metal posts coming together at the top in an inverted, narrow V?"

The post isn't at the side its at the top, to the right of the apex of the barn roof. Also along with being a narrow inverted V also has cross struts of some sort. Some kind of aerial? Pole to support a service of some sort, electricity, telephone?
