Notes

Drawings [4]-[6] include the pencil alterations added to drawings [1]-[3].

In contrast to drawing [1] the layout of the basement floor is different, with fewer but larger rooms, although the Kitchen retains the same position towards the rear of the house. The room off the staircase, previously labelled as 'Earth', is now designated as 'Mr Robins Room'. Below it is a low cellar and, above, a mezzanine (shown in section).
