Here's the side chimney, which I think is odd.

It's good to see the close ups Caz, you can see a lot more detail than in the original photo. Your observations and "straw grasping" give us some food for thought too  ;D

I'm sure we have all been hoping to find an online image taken from a similar angle to your photo, but I think we should look at the finer details and focus on an image from another angle.  Surely the tower would be visible whichever way you looked at it.

Not sure what my search terms are going to be this time, but I'm off for another mooch.

Oh good.  If nothing else, it might give people more ideas on search terms.  Forgot to say in the last photo I posted, you can see the gate and wall.  Also there appears to be a small awning, which suggests another entrance.

Hope this doesn't send people on a wild goose chase, but where would there be a wooded area, close to the ocean?

PS I meant to tell you, when searching the other day, I managed to get your avatar to come up under "images".  I also got really excited as I thought for a second I'd cracked where am No. 18 (or 19 can't remember) the thatched farm house, but then I realised I'd found my own photo.  ::) ::) ::) ;D

That's a good find S_L .

First time I've seen a tower even remoteley resembling our mystery house.
This old photo shows the house in 1928 from above

And yes, in answer to your previous question, it was the bay window roofs I was mystified about.
I've seen some similar, but none with that space below the apex.

Yorkslass

Try lock house, partridge green. Remodelled in 1930 but i'm not convinced its the one. Sticking with Sussex as a likely location due to the tower and seeing a few pics with similar trees.

Have I completely lost the plot, or can you see a face in the top left set of windows - you have to zoom quite a way in........ (really does look like a flesh and blood face, not a ghostly apparition!!)

Think its just the tree foliage reflected in the window.
