The summerhouse located to the northeast of Coed Helen is a castellated two-stage tower with rendered walls and an embattled parapet resting on a moulded cornice. The east and west faces feature a pointed doorway in the lower storey, although the doorway on the east face is blocked, and there is a pointed window above. The north face has a blocked doorway. The tower is positioned on a raised round platform that has brick revetment, which is partly missing, and this platform once supported a perimeter wall.
