Oh yes!

Bradenham is an L shaped house - check it out on Google Earth.

Jool, that is absolutely fantastic.  I always have mixed feelings when one of these is identified, sadness because I wasn't lucky enough to find it, but relief and thankfulness that I don't have to keep looking.
Brilliant work, thank you,

Benjamin Disraeli's dad Isaac, and Benjamin too for a while.  It's just over the hill from Hughenden.

Later became a boarding school - possibly at the time when that photo was taken.
