Summerhouse Approximatley 20 Metres South of Maidford House Farmhouse

The summerhouse, built around 1835, is located approximately 20 meters south of Maidford House Farmhouse. It features cob rendered brick and wooden rusticwork with a thatched roof that is gabled at the front and hipped with a curving shape at the rear. The design includes an entrance passage that runs crossways, leading to a circular main space. The front showcases split-branch rusticwork with an octagonal window framed decoratively. Above this is a pediment-like gable with a rock-work center, flanked by rusticwork doors and small windows towards the rear.

Inside, the entrance passage is adorned with elaborate split-twig decoration applied to bark, and the door and window frames have finely wrought surrounds, with the split-twigs arranged mostly in a herringbone pattern. The main space features walls made of shell and rock-work, with a fitted bench that wraps around the interior and has curving arms at both ends near the doorway, all covered in fine split-twig work. In the center stands a matching Regency-style pedestal table, which has decorative root pieces on its pedestal. This summerhouse is an unusual and remarkable survival.
