Summerhouse at Approximately 20 Metres North East of the Downs

The summerhouse, located approximately 20 metres northeast of The Downs in Hayle, was built around 1880 for Mr. Rawlings and designed by E. and J.D. Sedding. It features granite rubble construction with granite dressings and has a half-hipped dry Delabole slate roof with projecting eaves rafters and crested clay ridge tiles. The building has a single-cell plan and showcases Tudor Gothic style details.

The exterior is a single storey with a symmetrical west front that has two windows and a central doorway. This doorway is approached by a wide flight of seven stone steps with plain stone balustrades. The original doors and windows remain intact, including a 4-centred arched doorway with double doors that have lozenges on the bottom panels and glazed top panels. The windows are three-light with transoms for the narrower sidelights and feature cusped and traceried heads. A five-light timber framed gabled window with round-headed lights projects from the left-hand (north) wall. The oriel window on the north side is supported by the rear stone wall of the summerhouse on one side and a stanchion at the other corner. All windows retain their original leaded glazing. The interior has not been inspected.
