Summerhouse. Early or mid C19. Coursed stone rubble with
details in dressed stone. Flat roof. 2 storeys. Small
octagonal building with external staircase on south-east side.
Exterior (inspected only from the public roads on the east and
south) appears to have an opening with Tudor arch and
hood-mould in each face of the upper storey; some of the
openings are blind or blocked, as is one in the ground storey,
but at least 3 have glazed, 2-light windows with wooden
mullions and transoms. Raised band between the storeys;
moulded top cornice and parapet. The east side has a doorway
in upper storey; door with ribbed, square stone piers; iron
railing in between, the feet of the uprights designed as
lilies. INTERIOR not inspected. The summerhouse is not shown
on the tithe map of 1840.
(Ilfracombe Chronicle: Hussell AT: 9.7.1937: 8).
