Summerfield House

Summerfield House is a detached villa, now converted into apartments, dating to circa 1860 and built on a sloping site. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with a slate roof, featuring dormers and moulded stacks to the coped gable ends. It has a double-depth plan.

The exterior is symmetrical, with a seven-window front. Two shallow canted bays are positioned to flank the three-storey garden front. A coped parapet features a panel of pierced slits on each facet, alongside a cornice following the front and its returns. Other external features include a second-floor sill band, a returned first-floor platband, and a plinth. The windows are predominantly two-over-two pane sashes with horizontal glazing bars to the second and ground floors, and plate glass sashes with flat arches to the first floor. A porch with a lintel supported by moulded corbels and square pillars featuring similar caps spans the ground-floor bays. Steps provide access to the first-floor entrance, which incorporates a semicircular arch with a keystone above a plain fanlight, and a six-panel door with bolection moulding. Flanking the door are semicircular arched windows; one is blind, and above is a window similar to those on the second floor. A small semicircular arched window is located within the stack above the centre of the cornice.

The interior has not been inspected. The house first appeared in the Bath Directory of 1862. Its design demonstrates the mid-19th century's revival of Bath’s Georgian architecture, reflecting a Baroque Classical style. The building was sub-divided into apartments in 1985.
