Wasn't the fire in 1960,then restoration to the 1936 version?

Close but don't think so. It now belongs to the National Trust

Not so close. 

Bays round rather than angled, building material appears to be brick, pediment (?) differs, two or three stairs up to front door of OP's house, about 5 or 6 up to Hinton House, general proportions differ ....

Though not the same house, Carol's Gledhow Hall is the closest that has been found so far stylewise.

.The current building is presumably the 1936 rebuild,post dating the Edwardian photos we are trying to match.Really need a clear pre 1936 image.

Amazed that there are no photos of the earlier Victorian  building anywhere.

According to this website "Hinton Ampner House was built in 1790, remodelled in 1875 and 1936, and much of what we see today was rebuilt after a fire in 1960."

Good evening,

You are correct Roger, fire was in 1960. But the house has always been brick, it's just been remodelled as it says.

If this is the Victorian version,it's definitely not it!

Scroll down and there looks to be a pic of the 1930s house:

Also the 1960s fire from main menu

Quite a lot of terracing near the front of Hinton House ... which is not evident in the OP's photos. In the photo of the garden the lawns look very flat.

noytd, I keep thinking that the shield above the door may yield some clues.

I have no knowledge of such things, but do you think it might be worth rescanning it?

The experts may be able to advise settings etc and how to do this to get the best results. I know that some have programmes to enhance photos to bring out more detail, so this may be worth a try.

I note that the shield, or parts of it, appears in a few photos, so I am wondering if it might be worth scanning even those which don't show the entire shield? Photo 2 for example appears to be a bit sharper though the top part of the shield is cut off.
