Description
Sun Hill House is a late 18th-century building that has been divided into two houses. It is constructed from watershot squared rubble and features a slate and graduated stone slate roof. The house has a double-depth central-staircase plan with five bays and two storeys. Notable architectural details include a projecting plinth and an eaves cornice. The central door is framed by an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a pediment. There are four ground floor windows and five first floor windows, all with raised square-cut surrounds, although the original sash windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements. An entrance to No. 2 has been created by inserting a door within the second ground floor window. The building has gable chimney stacks on its two-span roof and features recessed cavetto-moulded mullion windows at the rear.
