I just had to post a photo of a favorite building, Wooton Lodge in England. Built around 1600 and probably designed by Robert Smythson though no documentary evidence exists.
It was very handsomely modified around 1740. The chimneys were rebuilt at that time, the stair to the front door added and the forecourt with it's eliptical drive and corner pavilions were laid out. Very sympathetic enhancements.
I love how this building rises with such poise on a promontory that projects out into a little valley.
