La longue ligne de la maison est parallèle à la route publique, dont les jardins sont séparés par un mur de briques, assez bas pour donner la définition de l'enclos, mais assez bas pour sembler exclusif. La maison est prochée par une allée droite, qui tourne à l'arrière de la maison, mais qui est accessible de l'avant de la maison par une promenade en briques qui court la longueur de la fagade.

The long lineof the house is parallel to the public road, fromwhich the grounds are separated by a brick wall, low enough to give definiteness of enclosure, but nothigh enough to seem exclusive. The house is ap-proached by a straight driveway, which turns in tothe back of the house, but which is reached from thefront of the house by a brick walk running the wholelength of the fagade. The building is situated on aslightly higher level than this brick walk—a levelwhich is emphasised by a stone terrace, from whichthe rooms of the house are entered by a couple ofstone steps. The entrance proper is at some distancefrom the road, and is marked by the projection of alarge gabled room over the brick and stone terrace, carried by plain brick piers.
