Notes
The additions are to the rear of the house and (drawing 2) are for a kitchen and washouse/laundry in the basement with stables at the rear of the garden. Drawing 3 shows the ground floor addition of a bedroom at the back, apparently over the two-storey kitchen. The single-storey flat-roofed areas are the stables and the washouse, and also the two privies in the garden.
