The ground floor has the same rooms ( hall, eating room, library, drawing room and dressing room) found in Soane's design ([2]) though Brettingham's bow is to the left and Soane's to the right. The built staircase is a half-turn with landings while Soane's was on a more striking geometrical imperial plan.
