Could it be a side view of Kelmscott Manor, William Morris` house?
In the Cotswolds.
                                 Viktoria.

Thanks for looking Victoria...I see similarities but as Jan says, the windows are different.

Thanks for your interest Roger and for the name of the window design which will help in the search...I couldn't see anything similar in the Norfolk area either.

Perhaps a builder would know what type of brick was
used in the building of the house. :o

I doubt it.

(I am not sure that it is brick.)

Carol, I think you are correct about the construction on the left being a greenhouse rather than a conservatory. It doesn't look very grand. I thought it might have been connected to the house, but looking again, I don't think it is.  :)

Note the different chimney stack styles. Does this mean that the plainer built ones face the back or side of the house and the slightly more decorative ones face the front for "show", or might it mean that this part of the house is of a newer construction? The fancier stacks are in groups of two or three and look to be built on an angle. I was wondering if the front if the house may be completely different style wise?  :-\

No help at all, but who, I wonder, would have a fountain pen filled with red ink to hand.

Banker, solicitor, or someone who lived in a big house ;D

I haven't read through everything as yet but Mike, your 'good' observation made me laugh  ;)
It's definitely something outstanding, not what most would use, maybe just someone artistic who liked colour  :-\

Just had another good look Ruskie and you could be right....not helped by the fact that it looks like the photo was taken from the side elevation rather than the front. I may crop off the chimney arrangement and see if I can find a match. I wonder now if it could be a college or boarding school.
Thanks again.

If it still stands it is likely to be a hotel or institution of some sort I think. I did look at a few searches for trefoil stone mullioned windows and chimney stacks earlier, but found nothing promising.
