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

[Rhododendron]

Thanks John for pulling so much detail together from that original house. Most.helpful and useful.

The building behind with the hipped roof is not residential, it has no chimneys. At the time of the photo all houses would have had them.

John, due to the angle the photo was taken and the height of the roof of the gabled house, it is possible that the chimney was on the other side of the house. There is a chimney on the far right of the photo but I am not sure which building that belongs to.
There is a glazed window on the side of the building which may indicate it is residential.
It looks to be brick with cladding of some sort - what type of non residential building might it be?

Yes, I agree with you Ruskie.
I have read John's analysis,  and then looked closely at the  enlargement of the rear  buildings.

Due to the angle and position of the camera, it is quite possible  that there are chimneys  just out of view.  You can just see the tip of something above the roof.

Given the trees visible, I imagine wood  was used as fuel for the fires.

Yes, there is something - perhaps a chimney - on the roofline of the larger building to the right.  But the chimney on the far right of the picture (to the right of the greenhouse) - surely that is too low to function as a chimney?

The something on the roofline looks an odd shape for a chimney, too pointed

I think the one on the far right is probably connected to heating for the greenhouse, it doesn't seem in quite the right position to be for the building with sky lights.

Not sure if I mentioned this in the other thread or not - the tower and the grounds make me think of a private cricket oval pavilion etc.

Got nothing else to think of as Aussie wickets tumble

The resident may have been  a Tea importer, and may have been able to see ships approaching Liverpool or Bristol   or Glasgow from his tower.

I think the tower is just part of the design of the house, possibly a library. Gut feeling is still telling me South of England.

For what it is worth, my gut feeling has always been that this is south England too .  North Downs was my first thought.

Also that as has been said before, this is the back of the house, so the front may be hard to recognise from "street view" especially with the other buildings possibly in close proximity , and if for any reason the tower has been removed in any later improvememts to the property. Thats of course if we know where to look at street views!   As for finding a picture of the rear view to compare with this one, well if it is just a family home (albeit a family with a fettish for a lot of fresh air!) there may not be another photo in the public domain, unless the property has been sold recently and agents photos are still online. But maybe it has not been sold for many years. 

Dont mean to sound "all doom &gloom", I am still looking !
