Notes
By this stage some work had been done on the house so that the kitchen has been replaced by Mr Peters' room and the curved wall with fireplace (see drawings [6-7]) had been built; in drawings [8-9] new windows are to be installed and in scheme No.1, there is to be a re-facing of two small areas of internal wall. The porch is the same in both drawings. In design No.1, the room between lobby and breakfast room is vaulted but not in design in Design No.2.
For the breakfast room, the plan form is the same, though the fenestration differs and design No.2 has twin buttresses; the chimneypiece is differently located.
