The house is vast, but screened from view by unmanaged woodland, and thus far there appears to be just one photo of it here on Geograph: Link

I searched for some while, but was unable to get a more open view than this - having found (I suspect) the same gap that steve found, on the south-west side of the house. The main façade is illustrated in the Middlesex volume of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England' - two storeys above a basement, with a central Doric portico approached by two flights of steps. Verandahs with wrought-iron screens run almost the full length of the building, supported on cast-iron columns. Even in the depth of winter I was unable to get a glimpse of the façade, but suspect it faces south-east - built to command a wide prospect of the park.

Ian Yarham (always conscientious in his research) has contributed a pretty comprehensive history of the site: Link but it seems that his April visit yielded no satisfactory image of the house itself.

Plans exist to refurbish the house - to be used as a hotel - but whether these will proceed in the present economic climate remains to be seen.
