Description

The Summer House at Osberton Hall is an early 19th-century folly designed in the Gothick style. Constructed from ashlar and brick, it is a single-storey building with two bays. The main bay on the left features corner buttresses and a chamfered pointed arched doorway, which is flanked on the right by a pointed arched niche. Above the doorway is a coped gable with a flat top and a carved bracket at the peak, flanked by single crocketed pinnacles, although the one on the right has been destroyed. The flanking wall to the right includes a central pointed arched doorway and a corner buttress, also with a single crocketed pinnacle.
