Summersby House

Summersby House is a mid-19th century house, altered in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-by-one bay elevation. The brickwork of the ground floor right-hand bay was rebuilt in the late 20th century. A six-panel door with raised and fielded upper panels and an overlight sits centrally, set within a panelled reveal and a wooden doorcase featuring fluted pilasters, a bowed frieze to the entablature, and a flat-mullioned cornice. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within reveals with flat brick arches and projecting sills. The hipped roof oversails and has two low stacks at the rear. The side returns feature ground floor windows matching the front, and blind first-floor windows.

Inside, a straight-flight staircase has stick balusters, columnar newels, and moulded treads. Ground floor fireplaces have bowed, grooved jambs with roundels at the ends of the frieze, and one room features a fireplace with polished stone.

The house was originally built as a front extension to the range that became the service area of No 2 Summersby Close. The right-hand bay was used as a shop before its late 20th century alteration.
