In this design (figs. 130. and 131.), Mr. Rutger informs us, "the house is approached by a lodge entrance (a), and the area in front presents an oval: the carriage road to the stables (b) is from the road at the north-east corner (c). At the north end of the house are the yards and buildings for the different offices, to be appropriated as it may be found expedient; all of which may be entered from the road c, which leads from the main road to the stables. On the west of the stables is a range of forcing-houses ((d), with potting-shed, etc, and gardener's room. At the back, and farther on, is the frame-ground (e), from which the kitchen-garden (f) is entered; where there is a pond, and also a cross wall, to give more room for fruit trees. It will be observed that there is access to all these departments, from the stable-yard (6), for the convenience of carting in dung, etc.; and, also, that the offices and yards appertaining to them are all shut out of view from the house by shrubs. On turning to the right from the west front of the house, a walk (g) is opened to the stable-yard; and, farther on, a walk (h) leads into the forciog-house department (d). The principal entrance to the kitchen-garden (i) is in the centre, at the west end of the shrubbery.
There is a pond with a fountain (k) on the lawn, and, opposite to it, a summer-house (l). On the south there is a side walk, which leads to a small flower-garden (m), enclosed by a shrubbery, with a reading-room (n); and, on the north, nearly opposite, is a conservatory (o), and an oval clump at its front on the lawn, with a walk to communicate from the carriage entrance."
