According to the 'If Not Duffers' article, Huyton Hill is:
a place on the North-West shore that matches the description of Beckfoot in all except the layout of the house.
I think the style of architecture of the house should also be excepted - it is a classic 'moneymaker's pile' and is appalling. Beckfoot, from the drawings and description by AR, is in the Lakes vernacular style and is charming. However, as Pam points out, it is the garden and surrounds which are brought in to support the Hobbsian theory, and I am willing to be persuaded that AR 'borrowed' these as an ingredient for his 'Beckfoot'.
