Notes
Dance's plan shows a rectangular building with octagonal turrets at each corner and a porte-cochere on the west side. The old part to the northwest with an existing turret was to be Sir George's sitting room and the drawing room to the east also retains the existing structure. The dining room is circular with four semicircular alcoves, all within a square. The elevation shows a three-storey building with four-storey corner turrets and battlement parapets.
