Notes
The existing two-storey lodge house (largely concealed in the drawing by trees and bushes) has two single storey rooms added to its front and is given a Tudoresque window and castellated parapet. The gate piers are flat-topped and cruciform in plan.
Evidently, the lodge was not executed see P.Dean, Sir John Soane and the country estate, 1999, p.190.
