Summerville

Summerville is a villa built around 1850, which has been altered and extended. It features white-painted stucco on a brick structure with a slate roof and an irregular double-pile plan, designed in the Italianate style. The building is two storeys high and includes cellars. The facade is asymmetrical with four windows, a plinth, channelled corner pilasters, and prominent bracketed eaves. There is a porch on the third bay and a gabled fourth bay with projected verges that resemble an open pediment.

The large rectangular porch is accessed by three steps and supported by coupled Ionic piers, featuring a plain frieze and a dentilled cornice. Each side of the porch has a pilastered round-headed window. The ground floor has plate glass sash windows with moulded architraves and dentilled cornices on consoles, while the first floor has 4-pane sashes with moulded architraves, panelled aprons, and small cornices, except for the fourth bay, which has a pediment.

The left end of the villa has a set-back two-bay wing that matches the main style. The right-hand return, facing the garden, features a large rectangular bay window with coupled Ionic pilasters, an entablature with a dentilled cornice, and a balustraded parapet. It also includes a pilastered window with three round-headed sash lights, three round-headed windows above (with the first two blocked), and to the right, a two-storey canted bay with sash windows under stylised cornices and a hipped roof. There is a large rear wing that has been significantly altered with additional structures. The interior has not been inspected.
