The central part has a glazed door flanked by 4 over 4 pane sashes, all with segmental heads, and a pyramid roof. The exterior of the wall is plain, while the summerhouse projects outward with a square red brick chimney on the rear wall. The interior of the summerhouse is plain, and the fireplace has been removed.
