Another well known building, but which, where, and who lived there?

Seems like a clue is required.

You could get dizzy over an Eastenders lady here.    WWW

Of course, I should have realised earlier.

It is obviously that well known stately home called Spinning-Dot Cotton Manor
,
It is in the little known village of Grant-Mitchell, near the fictitious town of Walford.

Fester - my goodness - you are so nearly correct.  In fact only a mile or so away!   Someone is sure to get the answer now from your strong clue.  But just in case here's another cryptic comment. 

 Jimmy Saville had no involvement with the place, although there is a dirty Den connection and the Vic's Owner's Son has a strong part to play.    :D

Try another guess.  ££$

Hughenden Manor in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. In the 19th century it was the country house of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
I don't watch Eastenders so I have no idea what the clues refer to.

Well done SDQ.  The references cover The Queen Vic as Victoria was a regular visitor.  The Son of the Vic's owner is Ben and that was the PM.  Den is the end of the name.  Dizzy refers again to Disraeli.

Is the film Tomb Raider with Lara Croft and the location is Ta Prohm which is the modern name of a temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia?

Now I really thought that would keep us going for at least 24 hours - how wrong I was!   Well done Hugo.   Z**
