It does fit the description.

I’ve just realised that the link earlier has the Latitude and longitude coordinates so it ought to be possible to enter them in Maps and then check if the resultant satellite view looks like that.

Might be a job for the morning.

a b & w shot of the building on the previous link ... it does seem as though there has been a universal attempt to forget the place though, cheers, Ian

There is a rough plan of layout of buildings and location on Carole's britishlistedbuildings link. Other properties I have looked up in the past on this site don't have a photo.

I am not sure it is clear if the photo posted by Matthew is of Irstead Hall as there are a number of buildings and outbuildings shown on the map, which can't be seen in the photo. Description seems to fit fairly well, apart from mention of four dormers.  :-\

I did look earlier on google maps but couldn't get close enough to see Irstead Hall, though I was on an ipad and I find that google maps is sometimes difficult to get around on an ipad.
