Description
The summerhouse, located about 60 meters west of Wixoe Mill House, is a gazebo built around 1840. It features a stucco exterior and a steeply pitched slate pyramidal roof with lead roll hips, overhanging eaves adorned with wavy valances, and a wooden finial at the apex. This small hexagonal building has a doorway on the south front and is built against a garden wall at the rear (north side). Designed in the Gothick style, it is a single-storey structure. The front includes a pointed, two-centred arch doorway with a plank door, and a large porch canopy supported by thin octagonal posts with moulded caps. The canopy features big pierced wavy barge boards with finials and pendants. Flanking the doorway are two-centred arch windows with glazing bars and intersecting tracery. Inside, the walls are plastered and incised with joint lines, and there is a bench around the walls.
