The main features are, a dearstorey reception hall and a billiard-room which will accommodate a full-size table and which also has a very comfortable ingle-nook. The house contains seventeen rooms, including accommodation for the staff, which is completely self-contained, and which can be separated at pleasure from the main portion

of the house. An interesting, treatment has been carried out in the dining-room which, has a very finely panelled Avainscotting of American birch; this

beautiful timber making a pleasing back-ground for the dining-room furniture which is in the Heppelwhite style.

Provision for showery weather has been made in the shape of a large Porte cochere, which enables
