Description
Summerhill House is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an 18th-century facade. The building is timber framed, featuring red brick in Flemish bond on the ground floor at the left end, while the rest of the front elevation is tile-hung on both floors. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high. The roof is hipped to the left, with the hip returning to the rear and half-hipped to the right. There is a rear stack to the left and a multiple red and grey brick ridge stack to the right of the centre. The windows are irregularly arranged, consisting of three casements, with two on the left and one on the right of the ridge stack. The entrance features a boarded door with a rectangular light and a flat bracketed hood situated under the stack. To the left, there is a rear return wing with a red brick ground floor, a tile-hung first floor, and a plain tile roof that is half-hipped to the rear. Adjoining this is a similar central rear wing that is flush with the left wing and has a weatherboard first floor. The interior has not been inspected. The building was formerly known as Summerhill Farm.
