Single-bay single-storey over basement summer house on octagonal plan, built c. 1870, built onto walled garden and now disused. Pyramidal slate roof surmounted by cast-iron weather vane and having red brick chimneystack. Roughcast render over rubble limestone walls. Square-headed door opening and with square-headed window openings to flanking faces. Timber braced roof, painted rendered walls and moulded rendered door surround visible to interior. Random rubble limestone walled garden to site with round-headed door opening, having cut limestone block and start voussoirs and wrought-iron gate.
This summer house forms part of the former Sadleirswells demesne, residence of W. Sadleir Esq. in the early nineteenth century. The building is a garden folly built in the former walled pleasure garden, and is one of the attractive demesne related structures remaining on this site including the garden walls, ornamental yard entrance gate and outbuildings.
