Description
This is a summerhouse built around 1900, located in Stoney Road Gardens, Coventry. It features a timber frame with plastered wattle-and-daub panels and a clay tile roof adorned with bands of scalloped tiles and crested ridge tiles. The gable ends are decorated with wavy bargeboards and a finial. There is a brick stack at one gable end topped with a louvred clay pot. The building has a small, single-cell rectangular plan with an entrance at one end and a fireplace at the opposite end. It is a single storey structure with a symmetrical gabled front, featuring a central doorway with a panelled and glazed door, flanked by windows on either side with leaded panes. Inside, the walls are matchboarded.
Stoney Road Gardens, also known as Park Gardens, was established for the owners of townhouses in Coventry who lacked gardens. These small pleasure gardens were created shortly after 1853, and by 1887, the northern half had been developed into small gardens enclosed by hedges and divided by paths. Currently, only eight of the original summerhouses remain.
