Out of this (which is ffenced by a breast wall w^{th} jron pallasadoes painted blew w^{th} Gilt topp) you ascend severall stepps through an jronwork’d gate to a ground divided into Long grass walks, severall of w^{ch} ascends y^e hill and between the Ground improv’d w^{th} Dwarfe trees of ffruite and flowers and greenes in all shapes, intermixt w^{th} beds of strawberyes for ornament and use. Thus to another bank w^{th} stepps to a Green Cross walke, and then more trees and devices. Thence to two mounts cut smoothe—between is a Cannall. These mounts are severall stepps up under which are jce houses; they are a square fflatt on the top ffenced with banks round and seates, beyond which is a summer house in a tree, which shews a great way off the Country. There are Low Cut hedges on Each bank, and painted sticks w^{th} Gilt tops in y^e greens and flower potts, and thus is one terrass above another. Over their stables are Chambers for y^e men, over the Kitchen and Dairy and buttery and scullery are roomes for Laundry, and for the maids. S^r Thomas Cooke’s house has such an Enclosed walk before the gate, w^{th} swinging gates at Each End and a Larger in the middle. Without it is a Row of oakes w^{th} thick heads w^{ch} makes it very shady. You Enter a Close gate into a Court, w^{th} a broad paved walk between two Large Grass-plotts, besett w^{th} Green Cyprus yew and holly in Piramids, and two Large Statues in the middle, the wall Clothed w^{th} box holly filleroy cut even. The ffront is two juttings out at the Ends flatt in the middle Like a half Roman H. You Rise a step or two into a good Hall pav’d w^{th} black and white marble, the sides painted black and white resembling nitches or arches for seates. On the Right hand is a good Dineing roome wanscoated oake without varnish, the pannell Large, and within a drawing roome w^{ch} Lookes into the garden, wanscoated. Over, Right, another square one. Between these runs an Entry, where in are Closets, and y^e Butlers office, to y^e Kitchen and offices, into y^e Stable, Coach yard and into a Laundry Court. In the Middle ffronting y^e Entrance is a Door into y^e garden. Just by is a Servants hall and way to y^e Cellars under. The Great Staires noble and Lofty, all wanscoate, hung w^{th} very good pictures. Above in the rooffe is frettwork and an oval Curiously painted with angells and ffigures.
