Notes
This drawing, SM volume 76/64 and SM volume 76/66 show the old house in grey wash and Soane's additions in pink wash, on three floors. From the plans it can be seen that much of the old structure was retained and the additions, whilst enlarging the house dimensions, really introduced an element of symmetry to the structure as well.
The drawing shows the ground floor, with alterations including the southern extension, as well as additions to the east and north fronts of the old house. The drawing room shown on this plan has been partitioned off (a thin line in yellow wash) to create a passage and access to the chamber and eating room.
