Description
This summerhouse, located about 70 metres east of Hadspen House, is likely from the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring Doulting stone dressings, and has a plain gabled roof covered with double Roman clay tiles, which replaced the original thatch. The building is two storeys tall and has two bays.
On the ground floor, there is a two-light window with an architrave, internal vertical bars, and diagonal leaded lights, along with an iron casement and an external stay. To the right, there is a heavy frame with a boarded door, topped by a Welsh slated pitched roof hood supported by wooden brackets. Between the door and the window, there is a Sun fire insurance plaque. The first floor has two single light windows, also with architraves. This summerhouse is part of a notable group of 18th-century structures.
