Summerhill Including Garden Area Wall To South

This is a small house, likely dating to around 1835, with extensions added in the 20th century. The exterior is stone rubble, stuccoed at the front and on the west side, with a low-pitched asbestos tile roof and a red clay ridge tile. There are painted brick stacks on either side. The house has a double depth rectangular plan, consisting of two principal rooms at the front, a central entrance hall with a dog-leg staircase at the rear, and a pantry to the left. Originally, a small unheated room likely existed at the back of the right-hand room. A two-story wing at the back houses the kitchen, with a stack on the right side. In the 20th century, a single-story extension was built on the left side of the original kitchen, and a conservatory on the left side of the main block.

The south east front has three windows arranged symmetrically. It features a plain band at first floor level, original early 19th century two-light French casements with glazing bars and margin panes, hooded by moulded wooden cornices. The first-floor windows have 20th-century facsimile wrought iron balconies. A central doorway now has an original panelled door (with glazed top panels) and a 20th-century wrought iron porch with a tent-shaped canopy. To the left is a 20th-century conservatory, and to the right, a lean-to garage, which may have originally been a coach house. The rear of the house features a hipped roof wing with a stack on the left side and a 20th-century single-story extension to the right.

The garden area has a 19th-century wall constructed of local stone rubble with cemented rubble coping, including a central pedestrian gateway with steps leading up to it.

Inside, much of the original joinery remains, including panelled doors and a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, moulded newel posts, and a moulded hand rail. The ground floor front rooms have replacement fireplaces, but an original fireplace with a bracketed shelf survives in the first-floor left-hand front room. There is no moulded plasterwork present.
