Notes
The tiny yard at the side having been enlarged and a water closet added, there is now insufficient space for a back stair - hence the note 'No back stair'. The principal stair is now on an oval plan (as on [SM D3/6/12], [SM D3/6/11], [SM D3/6/8] and [SM D3/6/7]) and has a 'Passage' on a segmental plan.
