Summers

Summers is a house that originated as a 17th century cottage and was extended to the left in 1902 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, with further extensions to the right by Sir Robert Troup around 1920. The building has a timber-framed core that is clad in red and blue brick below, with tile hanging above. It features plain tiled roofs with tile hung gables, and a hipped roof at the left end. The plan is T-shaped, with T-shaped extensions projecting to the left, all positioned at right angles to the street.

The house has two storeys and a plat band over the ground floor. There is a ridge stack at the center of the cross wing, a corbelled end stack to the left, and additional stacks at the rear. The windows are leaded casements, with three on the first floor and three below, alternating with two large buttresses to the left. A door is located to the left under a weatherboarded link to the extensions. The left extension, known as the Music Room, built in 1902, features four arched leaded windows on the front and two on the return front, both under gauged brick heads. Central casement doors are also present under a gauged brick head. The garden was landscaped in the early 20th century by Gertrude Jekyll.
