I'll take your word that it's leaning but not convinced myself because the separate building to the right is leaning by the same amount, or so it appears.
But whether it's leaning or not I think straightening it would look better.

#1 for me, also. Because so many of the fence posts are also leaning, it is hard to tell if the building is "really" leaning or if you just didn't hold the camera level. I think I might have looked for somthing else to include in the composition to prove that "it wasn't me."
Hi Folks,
Thanks for taking a look at the photos and commenting. As for the "crooked issue." I was on a tour bus at the time and the tour director, who seemed to be a very knowledgeable person, gave us advance notice that a crooked house was coming up. He told us the house in question was sinking into the ground on one side. Thus, the photo you now see. I guess the guide could have been wrong and by some means of mass hypnosis convinced the entire bus of the "crookedness" of the house.
In any event, I would not have taken the picture if the house was straight, nor did I have time, in a moving bus, to search for a different composition to prove it wasn't just me and the director and entire tour group.

Nice--I prefer the black and white because the green seems a bit much to me.
Thanks for opining fellows.

They may be competing with their sister city, Pisa.
Maybe, lot more rural than Pisa. Thanks for commenting.

I just did a quick google to get some background information.
Got this site: https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g187065-d1788211-i101143313-The_Crooked_House-Dudley_West_Midlands_England.html
Yours definitely does not qualify since it is a nicer "crooked house" in Scotland.

Are you sure that was truly a "crooked" house on that website, or was it just you?

Colored one for me. It’s probably perspective, the b/w looks more tilted than the colored one. Probably the Scotch I just had.
Hahahah............yeah well, they are both the same photo, so maybe it is the scotch!

Yes, seems quite the mystery (unless you were there).

You sure its the building and not the camera at an angle?
Well, I am sure as was the tour guide and the other 20-30 folks with me. Thanks for commenting.

Color please. It would be easy enough to straighten the crooked house. Just adjust the horizon a tiny bit counterclockwise.... Nice shot, by the way.
Thanks for taking a look Mercer and I will write the owner and let him know to adjust the horizon so his house is straightened.

I like the colored version. Its as though the building is blushing because of it's tilt.
Thanks for commenting LoStrunzo.

Might look better, but is it the truth? Would you straighten the leaning tower of Pizza just to make it look better?
Thanks for commenting Hassighedgehog. I would not straiten the leaning tower, no, and I wouldn't have taken this shot had the house not been leaning.
