The Garth

In this house the main block of the ground plan consists of four good-sized rooms which, by the use of double doors, combine to form a spacious interior effect, while the kitchen premises, which include a somewhat large pantry and small servants’ sitting room, occupy a projecting wing.

On the upper floor are five bedrooms, two dressing-rooms and bath-room; the attic-space contains the servants’ bedrooms and boxroom,.

The photographs give a fair idea of the interior and exterior of this house.
