Notes

Comparison of the three ground floor plans (drawings 1, 4 and 6) show that the plan form varied little: the secondary stair was moved westwards, and a breakfast room was placed on the north-west side. The elegant shape of the (slightly stretched) circular drawing room was kept and so was the geometrical stair.
