Notes
The plan is a stretched H-plan with a two-storey centre that contains carriage houses with (most probably) accommodation over for the grooms. Ten horses are housed in stalls. As with his designs for a lodge, a dairy and an ice house Soane uses thatch for the roof.
Pencil amendments, presumably by Soane, elongate one wing and move the carriage houses to the rear as seen in drawing [58].
