Grandfather's and, smaller in front, the Teahouse, Great Saxham Hall, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. If the Teahouse was originally in the open parkland of the Hall grounds, a look at the Google satellite image suggests it could have been at the end of a gated private drive from the road. The ground has been disturbed at some time. The Teahouse has clearly been relocated for several years and is now used as a garage - a walk along part of the drive to the pair shows a car in the doorway. Even for the people now living in Grandfather's a view from across the fields where this shot was taken from is probably the clearest view of the Teahouse. Satellite image shows the Teahouse is square with a hexagonal chimney. There are clearer views of Grandfather's.
