Beautiful House but where is it?

[arthurk]

I'm seriously impressed - and as Ruskie said, please tell us how you found it!

As it's still in use, photos of the garden don't seem to be available, but there's some information about it at
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101180497-the-rectory-dorchester#.WQDG_NzTXDc
and a recent photo of the front at
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101180497-the-rectory-dorchester/photos/55968#.WQDHMtzTXDc

And if anyone would like their own copy, there's another postcard currently for sale on eBay:

Interestingly, that too has a "W" written on it - so for our next challenge.....

Here's what the front looks like.

Hello all,

Thanks for your kind comments.

Like most others, I was convinced it was a vicarage/rectory/parsonage, and did all the usual search terms - trefoil-cusped-arch etc.

In the end, the brilliant search term I used on the Viewfinder site was .....  "light gothic house" - because that's what I saw.

I know not why the picture came up, as that term doesn't seem to be in the caption 

So, pure luck!

I'm sure Yorkslass will come up trumps before long 

Just quoting my own post from last week, I knew Yorkslass would find it if it was out there!  Well done, super sleuthing once again

Amazing find - rootschat needs to start handing out certificates 

[Yorkslass]

Aw thanks Jool.

Just wish my "super sleuthing" extended to Cazza's missing houses (especially no. 12)

Maybe we should re-visit Cazza's missing houses, you never know what may have appeared on the net since we last searched.  (I can hear you all groaning from here  )

Good evening,

Now who feels stupid, I used to deliver ice cream to the co-op in the high st. Although in my defence you can't see the house from the main rd, except the chimneys perhaps.

We forgive you John, you were probably too busy slurping your 99 to notice
