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

[janan]

Yes sorry confused episode. However  if the house is facing NE I can't see how the prevailing wind as shown by the trees can be from SW - most likely coming from SE surely? Otherwise the tree would be leaning the other way. Thus the house is more likely to be facing SE despite what the weather vane looks like? According to my drawings which unfortunately I can't post.

Unless I'm still confused

As I see it, the prevailing wind seems to be from left to right, as we look at the picture. I think in UK prevailing winds tend to be from the West (correct me if I am wrong) , from from left to right as you look at a map of the UK.
Therefore, the side of the house that we are seeing in the photo (be that front, back,side or whatever) must be facing south-ish. 
Which ties in with my "feeling" this is a property on North or South Downs.   But that is only a feeling with no back up evidence.  Just that is a part of the world I am fairly familiar with, I guess!

Good afternoon,

I too believe the house as we look at. It has a southerly outlook, somewhere between SE and SW. The trees show a westerly prevailing wind. 

The weather vane shows however that on the day the photo was taken the wind was in the easterly direction.

Just as a point of interest the weather vane is of a much older style than the house. So maybe rescued from a previous  building on this spot.

I believe it to be on the high wealdor maybe the Surrey hills although they are quite heavily wooded. I don't think the south downs are likely or I'm sure I would have seen it at some time in the past 65 years. Most certainly not right on the top because it would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

My feeling is southish facing but not on the South downs. More likely the Weald, Kent being my gut feeling. I don't think it needs to be particularly rural, could be edge of town.

Re the weather vane being an older style - what sort of time are you thinking of John? I ask because I think that large chimney is much older than the rest of the house, older than the late Victorian which I think the left hand part of the house is, although hidden by more modern bays.

Been addicted to this great search, and have enjoyed many hours viewing properties.  Has architect Reginald Fairfax Wells been mentioned as a possible for WAI 12a?  I've looked at a few seem to be in his size range.

The house may be on the lee side  of a range of hills?
