The house is situated in a treed landscape with a spacious expanse of lawn in the foreground that extends to the banks of the Thames River on the right. Several houses are visible across the river. A small sailboat is on the water. This is the only known view of the house between the completion of the Library and the Great Parlor in 1754 and the addition of the Long Gallery in 1761. A related view, likely a pair to this one, but from a slightly different angle and with an earlier architectural structure in brick to the left, has turned up in 2021 at auction
