Sorry Scouseboy, looking at the link to the plans Jen posted in reply #127, I can't see any resemblance to our mystery house either  :-\

If you have located a photo could you please provide a link to it so that we can see for ourselves.  I have searched for a photo of the Superintendent's house but only came up with the plan Jen posted.

I suspect that those drawings never got further than just being a Plan, Because ww1  probably put a stop on those plans.

What I suspect happened that the hospital bought a private house  for expediency, to use that  as the Superintendents House.  The Hospital was on a large site 540 acres I believe.   The superintendents house was outside the hospital perimeter.

Since there was mention of a possible hospital/sanitorium, I went through this, but nothing fitted. There are some excellent photographs which are worth a look I you have a mind to and some spare time.

  Thank you for finding that photo.  You can see the points which  are identical. The bank, the steps, The Ivy or creeper.   It will be interesting to find out  when the modifications and improvements were made.

When you compare the photos, it becomes obvious that virtually everything that could be different about these two houses IS different. They are not the same place.

I'm afraid they are the only things which are the same and can be found on/around thousands of houses. I have to agree with Mike, it's not the same house.

Like others, I'm really struggling to see the points on the building which might match up.  :(

To me the obvious differences are:
chimneys - altered position and one removed completely.
roofline - shape altered completely from hipped to gable
mullion windows where there weren't any before
missing upper storey on the right hand side?
change from tile hung upper storey to bare stone? is it

Yes the bank is there and some steps - but many buildings have something similar  :-\

I think we're still looking.
