The building occupies an area of 33 feet by 27 feet, exclusive of projections. The ground floor contains two sitting-rooms, kitchen, and scullery, with other conveniences. The upper floor, the greater part of which is in the roof, contains four bedrooms, bathroom, and napery closet, the ceilings being respectively 10 and 9 feet high. The external walls would be built of brick with stone dressings. The interior finishings of yellow pine stained and varnished. The upper portion of transomed windows glazed with quarry glass.
