Summer House Approximately 20 Metres West Of Stockeld Park House

The summer house, located approximately 20 metres west of Stockeld Park House, is a Grade II listed building. It was likely built between 1758 and 1763 by the architect James Paine for William Middleton. Constructed of ashlar stone, it features a Westmorland slate roof. The structure is single-storey with a square plan, complemented by lower rectangular extensions on each side and an apsidal extension at the rear. The front has a central board door with a 6-pane, segmental-headed window above it. Both the front and rear gables are adorned with open triangular pediments. The side wings and rear apse are also covered with slate roofs. Inside, there are three semicircular recesses and a plastered vaulted ceiling. However, the details of the building are largely obscured by a heavy growth of creepers.
