Summer House and Walls Enclosing Garden on South Front of Chilworthy House

The summer house and garden walls at the south front of Chilworthy House were built around 1900. They are constructed from random rubble local stone with quoins and feature flat Ham stone coping. The summer house has a plain clay tile pyramid roof with over-hanging eaves and sprockets. The walls are positioned at the south-east corner of Chilworthy House and extend eastward, leading to the summer house, then return south with a break. The south wall of the garden is formed from the rear wall of the stables, which are not of special interest. The walls on the north side are about one metre high and rise to nearly the height of the summer house, featuring a circular unglazed opening in an ashlar Ham stone surround. The walls on the east side rise again and include an obelisk and hit and miss coping, which was largely obscured by vegetation at the time of the survey in November 1985. The garden side of the summer house has low walls that flank square oak piers, supporting a three-sided roof of plain clay tiles.
