I stood in this field this morning at sunrise. The meadow is very peaceful. Does anyone have any more information about the exact position of the house in relation to the sea?

The towers has it back to the cliff tops and the railway which is not very far away. The cliff tops would be a matter of just about 150-200 yards away behind the house. My mother was in service for the Pembertons during the mid to late 40s and lived in at the house.
