Notes

The L-plan stable block is sited, as before, to the northwest with, to the south, a range of unexecuted two-storey domestic offices under a single roof fronted by an arcade so that the effect is rustically Italianate. Carter's note on the verso of the drawing, 'Intended Offices which / are not executed' refers to this design not being carried out. The house plan (presumably copied from [SM D1/1/22]) shows the shorter east wing with garden bridge that was adopted.
