NOTES: This is an example of the simple steel and glass box house in the style of Mies van der Rohe. Michael Manser adopted this style of construction for eleven of the twenty-five residences he built in his first ten years of practice after 1961. The original Capel Manor that this replaced was designed in Italian Gothic style by T. H. Wyatt in 1859-1862.

NOTES: This substantial steel-framed house on a twenty-acre sloping site was designed by Bronek Katz R. Vaughan & Partners for Mr Fred Kobler, managing director of Grand Hotels (Mayfair, London). An assistant architect of the practice, John Heath, was responsible for the interior design.
NOTES: Rake Manor was orignally built in 1602 and has been repeatedly restored, namely by Ralph Neville in the 1880s, Lutyens in 1897 and Baillie Scott in 1910 and 1925.
