Description
Sundial House is a house, probably built in the mid-18th century and altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond and features a ridged concrete roof with brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys and three bays. The central entrance consists of a four-panel door with an overlight set in a stone doorcase. To the right of the door is a narrow two-pane sash window. The end bays have late 19th-century canted two-storey bay windows. Above the door is a replaced two-pane sash window. A diamond-shaped sundial, believed to have been made by the mathematician William Emerson (1701-1782), is located to the right of the central first-floor window but is almost completely obscured by vegetation. The steeply-pitched roof has raised brick verges and features end and ridge stacks with top bands. The house is included for its group value.
