Thanks for finding floor plans, Zach. Nice arrangement; the three second floor bedrooms, where each has its own bath, lay out better than the three ground floor bedrooms, where you have to go through bedroom No. 2 to get to bedroom No. 3 (or go through the bathroom.) The third & fourth floors are clearly for servants -- a severly sloped outside wall in exchange for a hell-of-a view (not that a servant could spend that much time up there viewing out their window.)

Chateau Ivor would be a great house to have today -- never get lost in the crowd.

Perhaps bedrooms 2 and 3 are designed as a suite for visiting couples who desire separate sleeping arrangments.
