Notes

The plan is related to an outline plan of the offices (on the versos of [SM D1/3/2] and [SM D1/4/29]) inscribed ([SM D1/3/2] verso) These dimensions taken April 4^th 1807 / w^h James Carter and signed GD that shows an L-shaped stable block to the northwest, a long rectangular laundry to the southwest with a brewhouse beyond, and a kitchen with scullery and larder in a long block to the west of the house with pantries in two smaller blocks. Covered ways link the offices to each other and to the house. [SM D1/1/14] is a more detailed plan than [SM D1/3/2] and [SM D1/4/29] versos. The part-plan of the house shows the still room, china room, housekeeper's rooms and new servants' hall in what was the kitchen - all in the old west wing.

Plantation[s] to the north, west and south conceal the offices. Dance notes the position of five existing trees on the south side and embellishes the plantation there with a flower border facing the Carriage road.
