Description

Summer Place is a house that dates from the 17th to early 18th century, with a 19th-century bay on the left and a 20th-century two-bay extension on the right. The original cottage consists of two bays and features a slight timber frame with diagonal braces, whitewashed brick infill, and a rubble stone plinth. The left bay is made of whitewashed brick. The house has a thatched roof with a brick chimney located to the right of the center. There is a 20th-century brick chimney on the left gable that divides around a first-floor casement window. The building is one and a half storeys high, with paired leaded casements on the ground floor and another casement window in the center beneath the thatch. A 20th-century gabled timber porch is situated between the left bays. The extension on the right is constructed of whitewashed brick with half-timbering, a tiled roof, and 20th-century leaded casements, including those on the first floor in large gabled dormers that feature weatherboarding.
