Description
The summer house at Lakeside is a structure from the late 19th century. It is built of granite rubble stone, accented with white stone, and features a plain tile octagonal conical roof topped with a lead finial. The building has an octagonal plan and is a single storey with a plinth. It includes a central doorway with an angled lintel and painted Egyptian columns as jambs. Each face of the octagon, which is partially covered in ivy, has alternating small and larger blocked window frames, except for the window directly opposite the door, which is not blocked. The angled lintels and jambs are decorated with alternating white stone. The summer house is also adorned with rock-work decoration and has eaves supported by brackets that feature carved heads of animals. It is situated on an island in the middle of a large pond that was once part of the grounds of the now-demolished Thurnby Court, and it can be accessed from No. 10 Lakeside.
