Description

The summerhouse and garden wall located approximately 22 meters south of Number 1 was built in 1834. The summerhouse is constructed of red brick with a roof that is now felt, though it was originally likely covered in lead. It has a circular plan with a diameter of about 3.6 meters and is designed in the 'Gothick' style, standing at approximately 3.5 meters high.

The north elevation facing the garden features a central doorway with a four-centred arch, which has a two-leaf compassed door. The door includes upper glazing, margin glazing bars, and some decorative stained glass panes, with the inner sections consisting of two by four panes and a lower panel on each leaf. There are fixed lancet windows on either side of the doorway, adorned with 'Y' tracery glazing bars and two by three panes below, with an apex pane of decorative stained glass. The splayed stone sills add to the architectural detail.

The roof has a parapet with deep corniced coping and a lower moulded cornice, all made of brick. The parapet is pierced by a continuous band of round holes made from terracotta half-round sections, possibly for field drains. There is a lower spout on the east side and a double buttress on the west side where the building meets the garden wall, which also features a brick cornice moulding.

Inside, the summerhouse is rendered and plain, with three pieces of graffiti on the brickwork. These initials, all ending with "TI" and dated 1834, likely belong to younger family members who inscribed them during the time of construction.

The garden wall attached to the back of the summerhouse is also made of red brick and stands approximately 2.5 meters high, with an upper addition of 0.5 meters added later. The wall extends about 10.5 meters to the east and approximately 6.5 meters to the west, then turns north towards the house for about 22 meters.
