Notes
The plan provides four bedrooms and three dressing rooms symmetrically disposed. The main stair finishes at this level and another smaller, geometrical stair is placed at the back centre of the house. The mezzanine floor between the ground floor hall and the first floor chamber floor is also seen (to a different design) in drawing [4] as well as in the sectional drawings. The height of the first floor at nearly 17 feet lent itself to the addition of a mezzanine floor.
