Studio: international art (13.1898)

A House on the Devonshire Coast

hand, and of Bolt Head,
Prawle Point, and the
English Channel on the
other. So arranged, as-
you will see from the
ground plan, the rooms all
lead out of a wide corridor
on the north side of the
house. This would be of
sufficient width to admit of
furniture, such as cabinets,
being disposed along its-
sides, and of arranging a
fixed seat in its window.
Both the drawing-room and
dining-room open on to the
verandah, not directly, but
by means of a porch, the
double doors to which will
prevent any possibility of
the draught which is the
bane of garden doors. The
verandah and the balcony
are treated as integral parts
of the house, and not as-
the flimsy wooden after-
thoughts one is apt to see.
