Description
The Summer House is a gazebo built in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick with grey brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a grey and red machine tile roof. The structure is hexagonal and has two levels. The upper level features round-arched openings beneath small sloping gables, and it is capped with a pyramidal roof that has a decorated cast-iron weathervane. The Summer House is located at the south-west corner of a brick garden wall, which is not included in the listing, associated with Hall Farmhouse.
