Description
The summerhouse, located about 70 metres west of North Perrott Manor House, was built in 1880 and is likely designed by the architect T.H. Wyatt. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features a hipped conical roof covered with plain clay tiles and lead capping. The building has an octagonal plan and is a single storey, set on a wide paved plinth that includes a chamfered plinth, cill mould, cornice, and fluted Ionic pilasters at each corner, topped with obelisk finials.
The north-east face of the summerhouse has a moulded doorway with a three-centre arch, featuring a pair of part-glazed doors. The arch is decorated with incised spandrils and a keystone. On either side of the doorway are modified Venetian windows with raised sidelights and diamond glazing. The rear faces of the structure are blank. The summerhouse is positioned against a 3-metre high stone wall. Inside, there is a timber boarded ceiling with ribs arranged in a stellar pattern. This carefully detailed building is an important feature of the later 19th-century formal garden.
