Where Am I? No 12

[cazza59]

I have been through the following site. Nothing is standing out unfortunately.

One that stood out for me, not the house, you cannot see it, but it's the name and the children.

... The odd thing is the building behind the glass house. Actually, I think there are two, but the big building at the back looks new and doesn't look like a house.   

I thought them odd too. I think there are two buildings behind the glass house. One has the skylights and the other is the taller building with the oddly pitched roof. Hard to judge their ages from the little bit of them that is visible. I don't think that the larger one is new though, and I reckon it's a house.

I think the larger building with the shallow pitched half hipped roof is the newest part of this much extended building, perhaps added for staff accommodation or suchlike. It looks rather utilitarian compared with the rest of the house, making it even more likely the use by the time the photo was taken wasn't as a family home.

The additional buildings remind me very much of the added Opera house to Glyndbourne.  It isn't the right building unfortunately, but may be something similar

I think they may be stables and Carriage house with accommodation for Grooms and other staff. Or Agricultural buildings?

Well, after Malky's post I've been looking through Surrey/Sussex and Sussex Downs

but nothing so far Perhaps it's no longer there or has been altered beyond

recognition

I cannot recall if anyone has referred to the "Venetian"   blinds in some windows?

What year  were blinds like that introduced to the UK?

Yes - back in April, reply 49.  Haven't discovered the answer as to when they were either invented or introduced here yet.

Good evening,

Hoadlands cottages were workers housing for the Hyde estate owned by Colonel Warren. They are mostly semi's in 2 rows (one each side of the new A23). There are 2 larger houses for the estate manager etc of which this is one. Always been a single dwelling and a couple of hundred yards from my meagre dwelling.

I will have a look around the area, I will be most put out if no 12 turns out to be on my doorstep and I didn't know it.
