‘There is a small hall which is entered from the further side of the lobby. Its north and east walls are relieved by a series of ornamental recesses with single reveals. There appear to have been clerestory windows high up in the south wall. On this side there was a solid terrace, some 10 feet in height, abutting on to the hall, and windows with pierced lattice screens were contrived in the upper part of the wall. At the further end of this hall is the third and much narrower stairway leading to the upper floor, and alongside it another small room, above the doorway of which there was probably some sort of fanlight. All the remaining rooms on the ground floor are stated to have belonged to an older edifice, and were bricked up and filled in to form a solid terrace at the time when this house was built.’²
