another afternoon looking back over the WAI posts - found this one - what does everyone think.

Offcote Grange, Ashbourne - now renovated, along with outbuildings into self catering accommodation

Certainly has similarities

Unfortunately the photos online are less than 200x200. If someone with capture skills could enlarge these we might get some clarity - but its a good one to look at

I agree that the windows and outbuildings show similarities, but our house has a hipped roof and this one has a gable roof. Also, ours has prominent stone quoins against brick (probably), and there's nothing similar here.

File this under pure speculation, the telegraph pole has several short cross arms so might it be possible that the house is near a busy railway route? I'd assume the railway telegraph normally runs next to the railway but presumably must divert where there are tunnels involved. No idea whether it was unusual or not to share a pole with normal telegraph/telephone services.
