Bearing in mind we don't know whether this is the front, or back of the property, this makes the task harder. It would however seem to be much bigger than it looks because of the additional buildings.
Have you seen this site
 http://www.theirhistory.co.uk/70001/info.php?p=9 
 showing many photos of children's homes throughout the country. The aerial views are interesting to see the size of the homes.  I had to keep stopping at some of the photos as many have similarities to ours. I suggest you pour yourself a cup of coffee before starting, it's a big thread.
One thing though, I doubt it's a children's home because of the tennis court, they are more into slides and seesaws.

I would think that considering the glass house is in full view, this would be the back of the building, but I have been wrong before.

One of the residents of the house  may have been a keen bird watcher  or a keen astronomer,  assuming that the tower had windows on all four sides then they could have had 360 degree visibility.

Maybe the area to look into or maybe the architect.

I was also thinking Isle of Wight, Claire. There are quite a few hotels there that have terraces like that one.
