Summerhill

Summerhill is a detached house, likely built before 1780 but significantly altered over the years. It is situated behind the Old Barracks and consists of three ranges. The front range, which faces the street, is the tallest and was either built or remodeled in the mid-19th century. This range features three sash windows that are not evenly spaced, with glazing bars except for the top middle and bottom right-hand gable. The roof is covered with small old slates.

The second range, which extends to the rear from the right end of the front range, dates from the early 19th century or earlier. It is pebble-dashed and has one sash window with glazing bars and an attic sliding sash with very small panes. There is a wooden porch from the early to mid-19th century at the angle with the front range, which has a filigree frieze, an elliptical opening, and pointed lattice arches on each side and on the return face. Its roof is also covered with small slates.

The third range, likely built in the early 19th century, is constructed of brick and rubble and features a tall gabled chimney. It has a small arched window with Grecian painted decoration on the pane and a roof of small slates.

Summerhill is part of a group that includes The Older Barracks, Old Barracks Cottage, the Hermitage, the doorway of the Hermitage, Hermitage Cottage, an outbuilding of the Orchard to the south, the Orchard, the doorway of the Orchard, and the boundary wall to the northwest and southwest of the rear gardens of the Orchard and the Hermitage.
