Place & story

A house of about 1930

Among Summerhill’s predominantly nineteenth-century buildings, the architectural inventory identifies a two-storey terraced house dating from about 1930. Its five-bay front has a central porch with a flat roof, contrasting with the pitched pantiled roof above the main building. Single and paired timber sash windows and roughcast walls were recorded in the 2002 survey. [2]
