Notes
The survey drawings show a substantial but plain five bay, three storeys with attic house with two dog-leg stairs and four large rooms with fireplaces on each floor. The elevation shows a pedimented Corinthian porch and, on each side of the house, a small door and a larger, round arched and panelled gate that gives access to the back. The house is about 43 feet wide and 52 feet deep. For a survey plan of the ground floor (with proposed alterations added) see drawing 5; the survey plan of the basement is lacking.
