The drawing shows a (single cell) lodge to the left measuring 14 feet 1 inch wide, an entrance measuring 11 feet 3 inches wide and a wall about 110 feet in length against which is a house with kitchen, parlour, dairy and an upstairs together with a detached washouse and with wood yards. 'Piccadilly' is marked near the entrance through the wall to which the lodge and house with yards is attached.
Another plan, possibly an alternative design, has a compact house with (set at an angle) a wall enclosing stalls or pens for ? cows. The 'dairy' of the first house suggests that cows might have been kept nearby.
