Thank you so much myster for posting those plans of the farmhouse and to everyone else who has contributed to this very informative thread. I must say I am not the best person at deciphering plans and have always been somewhat confused by the cavernous tricky layout at White House. I can at last see how the staircases fit into the scheme of things and how Mrs Caffell could never have moved around the house undetected after the police entered.
Thank you all again.

Me too Mr K. Especially those stairs which linked the upstairs and downstairs offices in the house. At least now I know where they are located thanks to myster taking the trouble to draft a new plan.
My pleasure, Mr Justice K and John.
The problem of the Den, Office staircase and Gun Cupboard location had been nagging away like a stone in my shoe for a while.
As I've never been a member of the blue forum, I don't know if any other complete plans have been released and posted there, so there was no other alternative than to figure it out.
I think the only extant ones are the police plans in reply #2 in this thread, and I'm not sure why they were unfinished.
Since I posted the new ones, there are a few minor amendments that I've made..,
The location of the door D1 from the Store to the bedroom accommodation, which has moved to the Bathroom/Store Room wall, (mentioned on the blue forum), which more sensibly allows for headroom in the S2 stairwell.
The Kitchen table re-oriented to comply with the SOC photograph + door added to S2.
The Store Room/Upper Office dividing wall position may not be accurate, as the Store has no natural light, so perhaps it may have been located to take in one of the upper windows on the WHITE side.
I think that the settle against which Jeremy Bamber leant his rifle, and on which he left ammunition is the one just visible next to the coat rack in the Den photo. (the square above the word Hall in the plan)
Just a little disappointed that they are only low resolution, because the originals are over 3 MB..., but I found they're difficult to upload via Imgur/ImageShack, and impossible to post as attachments.
I'll post the amended ones again when internet traffic is less busy.
And you are right..., Sheila Caffell
never budged from her parents' bedside after that first neck shot and it's offensive to her memory to suggest otherwise.
Thanks to John for posting all the external photos too!
