I'm not convinced that a property's mere existence on the National Trust  
website makes it "notable".  We have many cases where things are mentioned  
in this or that place and yet that thing is not "notable" the way we use the  
word.  It would be up to the author to explain why this particular property 
 is notable if any AfD were brought.
 
On a second note.  With

over six *million* books now scanned, I think it's a much harder cry to  
claim that some thing *not citable in Google Books* is yet still notable.
 
I think six million books probably covers almost all territory that we want 
 to cover this decade.  I'd have to be convinced as to why a person or  
thing, which cannot be found there, is notable.
