Notes

The overall plan measures 21 feet 3 inches wide and 24 feet 3 inches long. The almost square plan is divided internally to make four rooms including a kitchen. The fromt has a pair of simple Doric columns, four flintworke pilasters and a cornice with flintwork. The roof is pyramidal and with a central chimney. The result is robustly confident.
