Description
Summer Hill House is a late 18th-century building located on the east side of Summer Hill. It features a brick structure with a hipped slate roof and a whitewashed roughcast front. The house is two storeys tall and has bands between the storeys, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course.
Notable architectural features include two full-height shallow segmental bows, each with three-light windows set in shallow reveals, and reeded wood mullions supported by consoles. The central window on the first floor has glazing bars. A central porch, accessed by stone steps, is designed in the fluted Roman Doric order and lacks an architrave. It has a fluted frieze and a cornice with dentils and modillions. The porch also includes a panelled archway leading to the door and an excellent traceried frieze.
The lodge associated with Summer Hill House and the house itself form a group of buildings of architectural significance. There is also a pump located behind the house, which is dated 1780.
