Description
Summerfield House is a house dating from 1841, likely designed by George Webster. It is constructed from limestone rubble with sandstone dressings. The north facade is symmetrical, with three bays, the central one projecting and featuring a cornice with a blocking course. Remnants of clasping pilaster capitals suggest the house may originally have been stuccoed. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within architraves. The doorway has a round head and a Doric porch with a mutuled cornice. Chimneys are positioned on either side of the central bay. The west facade is also symmetrical, composed of two blocks of one bay each, sharing details similar to the north front. A two-storey recessed link connects these blocks, featuring a gable and a super-arch with a slight projection. The first-floor window has sashed glazing bars and a stone surround with a pediment, alongside a balcony with iron railings. The ground-floor opening has been altered to incorporate French windows with a plain stone surround. The interior was inaccessible at the time of survey.
