Where Am I? No 12

[Jool]

The unusual gable windows are a unique feature of this building.  I have seen very few of a similar style, but most I have seen have been in Wales.  I suppose it's possible that the tower may have been removed later, so maybe we shouldn't rely on "tower" as part of out search term    Like Carol, just thinking aloud.

Please someone find it soon!  This is the unsolved WAI I would love to be found.

I think it's the cladding on the upper storey combined with brickwork, and the 30s style bays that makes me think southern counties (though I think there is something about 'the feel' of the house which I can't explain) ... But the Muirfield clubhouse has a similar appearance ....

In the enlargement of the tower in post 26, is that a face at the window?

What other reasons could there be for such a tower?

Coast guard observation?         Hobby  or bird watching?

back on page 8, I linked to another building with a very similar tower. It was an old coastguard station or lookout at one point according to a passing reference on a birdwatching site. According to some listed building information the house its associated with was built in 1907 though the tower may be more recent. I did find reference to a lot of building in the twenties but nothing with any useful details.

Made wonder if the gable end at the side was that of a boat house.

Just noted that the building with the similar tower was by Baillie Scott.

Problem with this building, is the renovations, additions which have been made. The bay windows are aditions, hence the "2 stage Dormer roofs" on them. The right hand gable is different building material to the main face, except the wall to the left of the right hand door. The facing slate work is corrugated above the left door, but square above the right. There are several chimney stacks behind the visable part of the building, plus another peaked roof behind the glass house. It's a "nightmare" to tie down using search paramaters.

My reply #71 on page 8 of this thread shows photos of Cothill school in Oxfordshire with similar windows and similar design to this one. I can't find the architect though.

I think both Yorkslass and dgibbins are getting close, so whatever search parameters you are using, keeping going! 

Once again another convalescent home

Note the sunhouse to one side. The lawn and the similar styles

Hope this works http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mitcham-Mrs-Gladstones-Convalescent-Home-by-J-J-Kenyon-Mitcham-/390775533550


I just feel it is convalescent. Infirmary. Hospital etc.

Now I know for sure this one is cracking me, I had a dream about it last night    I dreamt that someone had found it (don't know who!) and the tower could barely be seen as it blended in with trees in the background as the image was quite dark.

Interesting point SL about the side building possibly being a boat house.

Malky, very interesting observations too, I think I have been focusing too much on the unusual gable windows and as you say the bay windows are possibly later additions.
