Well Done Meles.. Good Job!

The photo dates to before 1903 then, when the mansard roof was added.
 At that time it was owned by the Leigh family
"The Leigh family continued to own Luton Hoo until 1903, when on the death of John Leigh's daughter-in-law, who had late in life married Christian de Falbe, the Danish ambassador to England, the estate was sold to the diamond magnate, Sir Julius Wernher." (wikipedia)

I just add

Wernher had the interior remodelled in the early 20th century by the architects of the Ritz Hotel, Charles Mewes and Arthur Davis (architect). It was at this time that the mansard roof was added, in order to increase the amount of staff accommodation. This alteration, coupled with the newly installed casement windows was in the Second Empire style of architecture.

It probably is Luton Hoo
