Description

The garden building at Summers Place, dating from around 1865, is designed in a Moorish-Gothic style. It is constructed from random rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain tiled octagonal roof. The building has an octagonal plan, a tall plinth, and a moulded eaves cornice. A decorative cast-iron roof finial adds to its character. The openings are adorned with moulded fluted capitals at the impost level and have moulded Caernarvon-arch type heads. The casement windows include decorative glazing in the top lights, while the door on the north side is half-glazed with margin-light glazing. Inside, the octagonal space is finished with match-boarding and wooden wall-seating.
