View south-east across the roofs of Norbury and Thornton Heath towards Croydon's towering skyline. The unfortunate recent steroidal (and Carbuncle Cup-nominated) addition on the right is its new tallest building, the Tower at Berkeley Homes's Saffron Square development. Here, the sharp winter sunshine has bleached it of its virulent colour, which renders it slightly more palatable, as does the distance between viewer and subject. The house and its park were bought by Croydon Corporation in 1926. The park covers some 32 acres and is on English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.
