north-west, and as that is certainly not one of
the best of aspects, the long side of the cottage
containing the living rooms has been placed facing
the south-west, with one large window looking
towards the principal view.
This south-west aspect

room itself. An unusual

side, of an old wood which dips down deeply in
the middle to a large pool. This wood has of
course been brought into the general scheme of the
gardens, and will ultimately and by degrees be
converted into wild, rock, and water gardens. In
extent the wood is about an acre and a quarter
