I usually like things to be symetrical but this building is a nice find.
Don`t know about the technical jargon stuff but it`s a pity about the shadow and the furniture clutter to the right,still,atleast it shows it`s a home not just a house.

Lovely building. Could do with more contrast/saturation especially the greens in my opinion. The shadow does not help either.
How about trying it again but in early morning/late evening light. I think you will find it a different picture entirely. The midday sun is not your friend here.

Not a bad idea Peter, maybe better light will rescue it!
I drive around the local area a fair bit for work and was driving past Audley End House last week and since the sky was so lovely and clear I decided to stop for 5 minutes for a few pics.
Will try a morning/evening shot, although I'm not sure how access works at those times. I just strolled in through the gate on the B1383 this time, but normally I think there is someone trying to relieve you of money at that entrance! Not too keen on paying £10 for a 5 minute photo session

You've made a good job of perspective correction, I just think it needs to cropped much more aggressively: just below the topiary, just above the weather vane and get rid of nearly all the greenery on both sides.

Maybe it should be a bit warmer and saturated, so greens are more green and reds are more vivid too? I like the crop though.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the suggestion Ken, here's an attempt at it.
