Description
Summerhall House, along with Summerhall Cottage and Honeysuckle Cottage, is a house dating from around 1800, originally designed as a double-depth plan property and now divided into three dwellings. The exterior is colourwashed render over coursed slatestone rubble, with a hipped roof covered in concrete tiles and rendered end stacks. The house has a symmetrical three-window facade and originally comprised two storeys. A wooden Tuscan porch fronts a 19th-century panelled door, which features a decorative fanlight above. Flat, rendered arches top the 12-pane sash windows. There are early 19th-century six-panelled doors and horizontal-sliding sashes at the rear. Flanking the main house are two-storey bays added in the mid-19th century.
The interior of Summerhall House, at the central section, includes early 19th-century panelled shutters. The hall has a moulded plaster cornice and a round-arched doorway with moulded imposts leading to the rear, where a reset early 19th-century straight-flight staircase is found, complete with stick balusters and a moulded newel. A room to the right contains a decorative early 19th-century cornice featuring vine trails and acanthus leaf motifs. The kitchen at the rear left has an open fireplace with a clay oven.
