It certainly seems to be the correct place, although the Homipi description says it has 7 bedrooms, but the Carter Jonas details say 5 bedrooms. Either way, it isn't one to the houses in your images.

A newspaper article in January 1922 reports that Mr. R. Crawford has arrived at OGBOURNE to take the place vacated by Davidson, who left OGBOURNE yesterday with his horses for fresh quarters at COLLINGBOURNE.

Also, in Nov 1924 there was an advert placed for a cook, a housemaid and a nursemaid for a boy of 10 months (fits with the age of his son, John).  Davidson, HERRIDGE, COLLINGBOURNE, WILTS.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

How do you keep finding newspaper reports on the Davidsons? Every time i try it comes up with nothing! Great find though i will look round Collingbourne now!   :)

I've had a lot of practice  ;D
For this one I think I put Davidson in the name box and Ogbourne in the keywords box, selected 1920s and left the place and county boxes blank.  Then I did the same with Collingbourne in the keyword box for the second one.  It sometimes takes a bit of trawling.

He is mentioned in newspapers all over the country because he is well known.

As May2088 and Jool have no doubt discovered, the Herridge racing stables are not viewable with street view. However the satellite view seems to rule out the house in the first photo as one of the buildings in the complex. I'm not sure I would rule out the third photo though.
