Nell, I have been wondering about a horticultural use too which could explain the outbuildings, maybe gardens open to the public, it is before the days of garden centres. I think the netting is attached to the outside of the greenhouse for shade purposes.
If you look at #10 of this thread, I think the greenhouse is set further back than it appears. In front of the greenhouse is a flower border, then a lawn area, before the other flower border near the two bushes and dog.
If you look at the side of the house with the climbing plant you can see at least one window open, there is also a dark shape above the glass house roof level,  which could be another open window.
Also on this thread #10, can be seen a radio mast, (an inverted V shape among the trees) above the roof of the back building, it has not been mentioned for a long time. I wonder if there is any significance to the use of this property and is the lookout tower associated with it.

I'm not totally convinced re the radio mast, but if it is a radio mast, I wonder - is there any way to search the locations of all/historic radio masts?  I can find plenty of lists of mobile masts and current masts, but it's the old ones which might help us.

Spidermonkey, this was first mentioned by S-L in the original WAI12 posts #37 & #44. It is at the top of the barnlike building just right of the apex, disappearing out of shot. There are two poles with horizontal bars, admittedly they are among the trees, but I'm pretty sure they are not part of the trees.

Good evening,

There is an old GCHQ compound with several tall masts on Ashdown Forest. I have been over that area searching but will look again.

Will also check on when the listening post was first built.

Good evening,

There was always a large array of masts just here but sadly gone now; http://www.rootschat.com/links/01fus/
