Where Am I? No 12

It wouldn't surprise me if it was somewhere like Ashdown Forest,

I'm going across there tomorrow - I'll keep my eyes open!

Rather enjoying looking through property in Ashdown Forest and seeing houses that I'm never going to be able to afford!!  (Anyone got a spare £3million or so available for this 1930s beaut?)

Considering that we are not finding this house, and thus there is a possibility that it has been demolished/completely revamped, I thought I would flag up this website which seeks to document buildings prior to demolition:

For those who are interested, the following link shows the house above after it was demolished and subsequently rebuilt.

My local knowledge and research  indicates to me that the house  in the photo at the top of this thread WAS demolished   OR "re-built in 1906.   Maybe this photo was taken prior to  re-building
work commenced?

Hello,
     Sorry, although ruined Steep Park House and beautifully renovated Highwell House, Crowborough, East Sussex are certainly one and the same house, nothing will ever convince me that is the house in Cazza's photograph.
     Similar layout but not the same. 
              Regards,     Dod.

Added. My apologies Spidermonkey. Glad such a lovely house has been restored. Have a look here.

Sorry, my intention was not to suggest that Highwell House was 'our' house, but to flag up a source of photos of houses that had fallen into disrepair and so may not come  up on conventional sources.  The 'after' photo of Highwell House was just to demonstrate what had happened to the house that I used as an example (it's a family history habit - I have to hatch, match and dispatch everything, rather than just give half a story!!)

Still this? I can't make my mind up whether you're being serious or having a laugh.

1. Do you honestly think this photo was taken before 1906?  I don't.
2. Even if it was, and this house was there before the current house, there is nothing about the background or foreground that gives ANY indication that it is the same site.

It is not the same place.
