Tell u what u have done a decent job of photographing that.
Do you have any history for teh place? that would make it a better report.
Not sure if it is Georgian even, prob mock georgian, I have been here myself & couldnt help but think what it would of looked like before it got trashed

surely it can't really be Georgian ? it looks kitschy - the proportions are all wrong.
great photos, though

Well the 1945 aerial photo on Google Earth shows that it didn't exist then.....

These houses were built in the 1970s

To be fair the poster never said it was Georgian, the house is called " the Georgians "

I thought I replied ,here what I found :
The georgian mansion was built in the 1970 s and has reportedly abandoned for over a decade.Previously owned by actress Grace Fields ,the property was knocked down and re built for the saudi royal family.

The style is considered a mix of influences, it is modern but there are some georgian features too

That's deteriorated a fair bit in two years. Looks like the front doors have now been removed! Here's a shot from 2 years ago when the windows were intact.
