The Mystery House

So, I went for lunch on Saturday with my eldest son.  And as usual I decided we would go to a farm shop/tea shop.  I'm a great lover of these places, while my son was crossing his fingers and praying for a McDonalds.
As we drove along the country road we passed this house with the turret.  I was so impressed I turned back - not easy on a country road.
What kind of a house has a turret?  This is on a farm road in Ayrshire, in the middle of nowhere.  I was even more intrigued by the big wrought iron gates.  But the absolute mystery for us was the fact that underneath all the foliage on the turret, was a window.  You can just see the bottom edge of it in the picture. 
Now why would you have a house, with such a beautiful distinguishing feature, and let foliage cover the window?  My son automatically started giving ideas - but they were all to do with spies and wizards.
I thought it could be a setting for a lovely romance novel, with a touch of mystery.  What do you think?
