Detached house. C18 or early C19. Whitewashed rubble, slate
roof. A small L-plan cottage set high on the slope of
Summerhouse Hill, probably original a 2-room cottage, to which

2 storeys. The main range has a small 2-light casement, and a
small-pane casement oriel with gable; to the left is a
part-glazed C19 door under a transom light with oval glazed
light, to a wood lintel and on 2 deep steps. The gable to the

and a circular light to ground floor, left, below the terrace
level. The left gable also has a stack, and a large
flat-roofed semi-octagonal oriel brought forward from the roof
of the lower wing. The wing has a 2-light casement in the

The small scale of the building suggests early provenance.
