M. H. Baillie Scott · Houses Illustrated
A Stone House
This house was designed for a somewhat exposed position in a stone district.
Three sitting-rooms occupy the greater part of the south front, culminating in the central hall, which extends through two storeys with a gallery.
The morning-room, or study, occupies one of the wings, and the remainder of the plan is taken up with kitchen premises.
On the upper floor are five bedrooms and bathroom, with servants’ rooms and boxroom, &c, in the attics. The general character of the exterior, with its central porches on both fronts flanked by gables, represents the traditional model of many small manor-houses.
