Description
The summer house and stables, originally a barn, are located to the northeast of Hartrow Manor. This structure dates back to the 17th century but has been altered in the early 19th century and mid-20th century. The summer house features a steeply pitched hipped roof covered with asbestos slate on the south gable end. It has three bays of full-height sash windows, each with eight panes over four panes, which were in poor condition at the time of the survey in December 1983. Inside, there is a brick floor and a chamfered beam behind the rear wall, which has step and run-out stops.
The right side facing the garden is constructed of random rubble and retains remnants of two and three-light unglazed ovolo moulded mullioned windows, which may have been reset. The left side, which faces the courtyard, is rendered and features double doors leading to the stables, with buttresses on the left end bay. The building is connected to Hartrow Manor by approximately three meters of rendered wall that includes an arched doorway opening at the southwest corner. The design of the summer house is similar to that at Willett House in Elworthy, likely attributed to the architect Richard Carver.
