Description
The summerhouse, located about 120 metres south west of Hinchingbrooke House, dates from the mid 19th century. It is constructed of gault brick with red brick dressings and features a fishscale tile roof adorned with crested ridge tiles and ornate pierced bargeboards at the gable ends, topped with spike finials. The building has a small single-cell rectangular plan, with an entrance and porch on the northwest end, a stack on the southeast end, and a bay window on the southwest side.
The exterior is a single storey. The northwest gable end includes a central doorway with a plank door that has cover moulds, and an open wooden porch featuring ornate pierced bargeboards, a pendant, and a finial at the gable. This is flanked by small 1-light casements that were formerly fitted with diamond panes. The southwest side has a canted bay window at the centre, which has a coved eaves cornice and a hipped roof. Above the bay window is a small gable with pierced bargeboards and a finial, which contains a coronet and the initials MS, believed to refer to Mary Montague, the daughter of the Earl of Sandwich. The southeast gable end features a large brick stack with set offs, while the rear northeast wall is blind.
Inside, there is a boarded ceiling supported by pierced arch braces. It is suggested that this summerhouse may have been built in memory of Mary Montague, who lived from 1812 to 1839.
