The Summer House, 50 Metres North West Of Inwood House

The Summer House, located 50 metres north-west of Inwood House, is a summerhouse built in the late 19th century. It has a brick core that is colourwashed, with ornate wrought iron outer piers and a sheet copper roof. The structure has an octagonal plan and features a solid portion on the northern half, which includes a door designed in an almost Chippendale style. The front portion is an open area on a raised step, supported by openwork piers that extend past the roofline to finials. The roof curves up to a small onion dome topped with a cast iron finial. This design is reminiscent of the Regency Brighton pavilion and was created by an Italian who was brought to England in the late 19th century by the Merthyr Guest family, who were involved in the construction and renovation of Inwood. The Summer House is part of a larger estate that includes several notable items, while the main house, built in 1881, is of lesser interest and is not listed.
