Falke Wood

This house was designed as a summer dwelling, and by special request the principal rooms were placed to face north. The basis of the plan is the “dining-hall” scheme, in which the dining-room when not in use appears as the hall. The remaining sitting-rooms are the drawing-room and children’s room, and both these can be reached without pass’ng through the dining-hall. Both of these rooms open on to a square garden-room. The kitchen premises are unusually large for the size of the house, and include servants’ hall and butler’s pantry, with back staircase.

On the first floor there are four good-sized bedrooms and sewing-room, bathroom, &c., and in the attics are two servants’ bedrooms and a boxroom. The two colour-plates show the proposed treatment of the interior of dining-hall and drawing-room, and plans are also shown of the stable and garden, while the lodge is illustrated in the chapter on cottages.
