Summerfield Farmhouse And Attached Garden Walls, Railings And Gate Piers

Summerfield Farmhouse and the attached garden walls, railings, and gate piers date from the early 19th century. The farmhouse is built of tooled sandstone, with a rendered rear and a Roman tile roof. It features a squared sandstone wall with cast iron railings and tooled sandstone gate piers. The house has a central stairhall plan, is 1½-rooms deep, and has a half outshut. It is two stories tall with a three-window front. There is a six-panel door beneath an overlight, set in an open pedimented doorcase with fluted pilaster jambs. Above the door is a 12-pane sash window, with 16-pane sashes elsewhere. All windows have painted sills and painted wedge lintels. The gables are coped with shaped kneelers, and there are end stacks. The garden wall features sloped coping that supports horizontal railings; the wall and railings ramp up at each end and return to the house front. The square-section gate piers have pyramidal caps.
