“ The Moorings,” of which an
illustration is given above, has been
designed by Mr. T. E. Collcutt, of
Messrs. Collcutt and Hamp, for G.
T. Wills, Esq., and is situate about
twenty-seven miles from London, at
Sunningdale in Berkshire. The site
is about one mile from the station,
and the house has been erected
overlooking the famous golf links,
and surrounded by beautiful pine
woods. It has been built with Chil-
mark stone, with dressed quoins,
and rubble filling in parts, and
cement stucco elsewhere. Some of
the gables and projecting bays are
in half-timber construction in oak, and the roof is
covered with stone healing. The large sitting hall,
illustrated overleaf, is treated in panelled oak, with
ceiling joists and beams and the floor of the same
material. The oak staircase and long corridor have
also wainscot panelling, between five and six feet
high, the space above being decorated in plaster,
modelled after the old manner. The entrance hall
and principal corridor has a black and white marble
floor. The accommodation on the ground floor
will be seen from the plan given on this page. On
the first floor five large bedrooms, two nurseries and
nurse’s room, with ample lavatory accommodation,
are provided. All the bedrooms, except the best bed-
room, are provided with fixed lavatory basins, with
hot and cold water laid on. The attic floor contains
