Immediately recognised the house. The conifers are massive now though

Thank you for your kind remarks, Heather and Martin! Agree with you Martin, in reality, the house is really hemmed in with conifers but, as a retired civil engineer I am more interested in the structure of the building so stripped away the greenery!!
