For this design (figs. 132. and 133.) we are also indebted to Mr. Rutger. "The house is approached from the south-west by a lodge entrance (a), and, as the road indicates, the carriage returns to the stables on the north-east of the premises. The coach-house (b), in this design, is detached from the stables, at the back of which is a yard (c), which may he made available for the dung, and, also, for compost for the frame and forcing departments. In the frame-ground (d), adjoining to the stable-yard, is a row of sheds, for the gardener's room and other purposes. The forcing-houses (e) are at the back of the frames, separated by a yew hedge (f), which also divides the frame-ground from the kitchen-garden (g), which is walled on three sides, with an irregular slip (A) round as far as the walls and forcing-houses extend. The offices (i) are placed at the south end of the house, and hidden by a shrubbery, through which there are a back entrance (k), and also a walk (l) to communicate with the out-door offices, such as the laundry (m), poultry-court (n), brewhouse, etc. (o), of all of which the view is supposed to be hidden from the house by the shrubs which form the boundary of the oral area at the east front.

The north end of the building (p) is supposed to be the drawing-room, from which a covered way (q) leads to a conservatory (r), in front of which is a flower garden, which may be entered either from the covered way, or from the conservatory. From the covered way, on the right, a walk (s) leads out to an aviary (t), and to a compartment for fancy fowls, ducks, etc. (u), in which there is a building (v) to be appropriated according .to the wishes of the proprietor. On leaving the flower-garden, and turning to the right, the walk leads through a covered way (10), wherein is a seat, and opposite to it a piece of water. Proceeding onward, a summer-house (x) is approached, situated so as to have a view of the whole length of the narrow lawn at its front."
