Summerhouse At Approximately 120 Metres North Of The Downs

The summerhouse, located approximately 120 metres north of The Downs, is a Grade II* listed structure built around 1880. It was designed by E and J D Sedding for Mr. Rawlings and is situated in a planned garden. The building is constructed from dressed elvan with granite dressings and features a dry Delabole slate roof with granite coped gable ends and crested clay ridge tiles.

This single-storey summerhouse has a single cell plan and showcases Gothic style elements. The south front is symmetrical, featuring a central two-bay pointed-arched arcade with a steep gable above. The arches are supported by Tuscan responds and a central column. There is a louvred ventilator in the gable, and the side walls include central chamfered doorways, also topped with gables that have central ventilators.

Inside, the summerhouse retains its original plastered interior, which includes steps leading down from the front, a stone bench at the rear, and a blind oculus above.
