Notes
Dance's proposals are more radical and symmetrical than in [SM D2/8/9]. He retains only the present / Servants Hall and bow-fronted Drawing room (which was the music room on [SM D2/8/9]) and all the rest is new including half-turn with landings Stone Stairs and an Anti room either side of the entrance hall that gives on to a further hall with a door to the garden. A single-storey wing to the right has Mr Tate's / Study, Mr Tates / Bed room, a water closet, Servant['s] bedroom and Passage. Dance indicates with blue wash a reduced version of the plan so that the pavilion ends are removed and the larger rooms divided by partition walls.
The elevation shows a two-storey, three-bay front with pedimented ends and a central porte-cochere, flanked by single-storey, two-bay wings.
