Notes

The bedroom is over the eating room, that is, on the north-west corner of the house; it measures 19:0 by 16:3 feet with a window on the front (street) side. The doors give on to two dressing rooms and a closet (see plan [6]). The finishing is plain so perhaps this was Mr Dennistoun's bedroom.
