So glad to see that this has returned to a private residence and seems in pristine condition.
I'm also glad to hear it's in private hands.
But I can't help but note that if you pull back on either the Google or Bing satellite shots, it looks a bit like something else...

Marvelously rich interior finishes in this house.
And well done, Ancient. The analogy is spot on.
