 “The Electric Installation is of the most perfect type and on the duplicate interchangeable system. At the far end of the Stable yard is a substantial Engine House having glazed white brick walls, and with coal cellar, boiler house and store adjoining, and containing two ”Davey Paxman" loco type boilers (each of 20-h.p,) with feed pump, steam injectors, etc. A spacious Dynamo Room, in which are two “Raworth Universal Brush Company's” engines and dynamos of 40-h.p., direct coupled. In this room is a very large marble switch-board which controls the whole of the installation, and there are also charging boards for small accumulators and electric broughams, overhead travelling crane, telephone to House, laundry and to the electric fire pumps. The electric current, which is 100 volts continuous, can be supplied direct from the dynamos, as well as from the 54 storage cells in the Battery Room, and which are of 1,200 amperes capacity."

    120 kWh of battery storage in a room approximately 22' x 30'. Would have made your eyes water I think.

    Knowing how much capacity there was in diesel-electric boats and the space taken up by the batteries was always well above my security clearance, but 22' x 30' might have been quite a big space for a submarine.

    You might also wonder about the size of the reactor in nuclear boats.

     Country houses now hotels in Hampshire suggests somewhere in the New Forest.
