Summer house (or Menagerie). Probably later C18, and perhaps by Robert Adam. Rendered handmade brick with sandstone dressings (roof not visible). Cruciform plan formed by two-cell main range, the front cell octagonal and the rear rectangular, with small side wings to the front cell. Gothick style. Single storey; symmetrical south-east facade has canted centre, central two-centred arched doorway with rusticated long-and-short surround, double doors, and Y-traceried fanlight; a window in each canted side, in matching style; moulded cornice and low embattled parapet with trefoils in the cops. Single-bay slightly lower wings in matching style have two-centred arched front and rear doorways, coved niches to left and right respectively, and similar parapets; the right-hand wing contains a wooden two-seater earth closet, and the other may also have been a privy. The rear cell has a doorway in the east side (blocked) a two-centred arched window in the west side, with a square window above, and a parapet like the front.

Interior: front cell has Gothick-style arcaded panels, fireplace in rear wall with ogival overmantel, flanked by coved cupboard to left, doorway to right, rib-vaulted ceiling and diamond-pattern stone flagged floor. Item believed to contain or cover ice house.
