If you'd like to have a look inside the real Strawberry Hill (currently undergoing renovations), please follow these links:
Roseneath Priory has a tower and a cloister, arched windows, traceried stonework, and trefoils and quatrefoils of coloured glass. It is loosely modelled on Strawberry Hill, a simple house that was remodelled into the marvellously gothic residence of Sir Horace Walpole in the 1700s.
Below is an engraving of Strawberry Hill, from the Regency period. Roseneath Priory doesn't look exactly like this, of course, but there is a faint resemblance (if you cross your eyes and squint).
