We all love a good wezzit, don't we?
Sorry, but this isn't a good one, since the house may be long demolished for a motorway or housing estate.

Anyone recognise any of the features? The chimneys seem unusually prominent. Is that typical of a particular area or period?
It's likely to be Cheshire, Staffordshire or Shropshire, since the owner believed it to be in Wybunbury.
That’s Flashy’s house isn’t it? The east wing.
STW Towers?
Hmmm, doesn't STW Towers have a moat (or maybe a canal) just outside?
Mcmoonters greenhouse?
Looks like ones alma mater but that was in Somerset.

Certainly Tudor/Elizabethan in style, but often copied by later architects, I believe.
Looks a bit like Mapledurham House in Oxfordshire.
That's an interesting suggestion, Hamish. It does look like a scaled-down version of Mapledurham House (which is Elizabethan, as per CountZero)
Initially thought - King Edward Vii hospital in midhurst
Though on closer inspection prob not
It's got a lot of similarities to Burton Agnes Hall, East Yorkshire. That would be one of the grandest Elizabethan brick houses, this place isn't quite as grand or have as much variation in the facades.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't think we're much closer to identifying it, except to say it's a mixture of Elizabethan chimneys and Georgian windows!
