Notes
Soane's proposed addition is shown to be on the south side of the existing house and the corresponding elevation is five bays wide with pilasters framing the end bays. The elevation shows also the domestic offices with low store rooms and the greater height of washouse and bakehouse. Chickens and drying ground are nearby, the stables further off and all seems quietly purposeful.
