Where Am I? No. 12a - Part Two of "Cazza's House"

[Spidermonkey]

I continued to concentrate on Hampshire for a few reasons. I do think the property is south of London rather than north. I also think the Scots Pines have a sense of place. I looked at a few places. New Forest caught my eye and I had a look around there and came up with this one

What a lovely house, but I can't believe that it is described as a gamekeeper's lodge!  If that is the lodge, what must the main house have been like?!

Why are some of the window frames white, and some dark (brown?) ?  Is that a stylistic/decorative thing or have some of the windows been replaced?

I think it's a decorative thing which could possibly date the photo as late as the 1950/early60's. At least I remember our windows being cream and dark green, as were my doll's house windows.

I notice there is some sort of shading on the greenhouse which adds weight to a south facing aspect.

I am wondering if there are any clues as to location in the patterning of the tile hung exterior. Regional styles or variations perhaps?

Some investigation is in order I think. 

Added: The closeups are smashing Caz.

Having another look at the glasshouse I think it s a glasshouse

Looks like plant life in there and not bodies

Is this what you were thinking?

In positions of very severe exposure to wind driven rain, as on high open ground facing the prevailing wind and on the coast facing open sea, it is necessary to protect both solid and cavity walls with an external cladding. The traditional wall cladding is slate or tile hanging in the form of slates or tiles hung double lap on timber battens nailed to counter battens. Slate hanging has generally been used in the north and tile in the south of Great Britain. Either natural or manufactured slates and tiles can be used.

The shingle clad tower again just screams South Downs.

Yes dg that is what I was thinking of.

I thought of tile hanging as more a fashion than serving a real purpose so interesting to read your findings.

Do the roof tiles look a bit wobbly?

You can almost see the shape of the roof battens in places. Makes me wonder if the building is older than it looks .... 

Maybe attention was paid to updating the frontage, bays etc but not so much with the roof?

Or is that the (rough) nature of clay roofing tiles?

There is also some odd patching of the wall tiles.

Is it worth looking at the brick work - can we determine a pattern?  It looks as if there are 5 rows of stretchers, then a single row of headers, then a single row of stretchers and then my eyes go crossed and I lose count
