Notes

This plan has in the centre an entrance (framed on each side by a slender column) that gives on to a court or yard that accesses the five stalls to each side. Beyond is a room with a fireplace and two windows and a side room with one window. In front of this central block are two identical detached wings for coach houses, saddle and tack rooms, hay and two water closets.
The drawing with its neat pen and wash border may have been intended as a presentation drawing for Mr Peters.
