Description
The summerhouse and enclosing walls located east of Ivy House date from the early 18th century. The summerhouse is positioned in the northeast corner and features an ashlar front with a stone-tiled pyramid roof topped by an urn finial. It has a half-glazed door set in a segmental-headed, raised bead-moulded frame that includes a keystone and a cornice strip above. The eaves are coved, and on either side of the door, the ashlar-coped walls extend outward to align with the garden walls, which have moulded coping and shell-headed niches. There is a similar doorway at the rear in a rubble stone wall with flush quoins. Inside, the summerhouse contains fielded panelling.
The wall to the south is listed alongside The Coach House. The wall running east is capped with two brick piers and extends south behind Nos 71-75 High Street. At the left end, it features a shell-headed ashlar niche, and there is a central summerhouse or privy with a moulded flush doorway beneath a broad ashlar ornamental pediment that has a curved top and concave-curved shoulders. Behind this is a lean-to room with a hipped roof, which has a blocked east light with an ovolo moulding. The wall continues south and then returns east to the rear of No 71 High Street.
From the south wall of No 71, there is a low curved late 19th-century wall behind the Mayo Fountain, which previously had iron railings linking it to the south garden wall. The coping of this wall ramps up to a higher section and then ramps down at the adjoining house's southeast corner, where there is a short length of stone balustrade with piers and a carved scroll against the house wall.
