Sunnyside Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Sunnyside Farmhouse and the attached barn are located in Hawksworth and date from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with some alterations. The farmhouse is built of coursed squared sandstone with quoins, while the south front and west gable are pebble dashed. It has a stone slate roof and features a double-depth, two-bay plan. The building is two storeys tall and almost symmetrical. The rear, which faces the road, has a central doorway with a chamfered lintel and two windows on each floor. The right ground floor window is double-chamfered but lacks mullions, while the others are vertical rectangular with plain surrounds. The first-floor windows are 4-pane sashes. The gable chimneys have stone coping with kneelers on the right-hand (west) gable.

The south front has an inserted doorway in the center and two deeply-recessed windows on each floor, all with chamfered surrounds. These windows were formerly mullioned, with the ground floor having four lights and the first floor three lights, but have been altered. The left ground floor window has a 4-pane sash inserted in the left half but is otherwise blocked, while the right window lacks the first and third mullions, with those above now being tripartite sashes. There is also an inserted window at each end of the ground floor.

The barn is set back at the east end and has five bays in an L-plan, featuring a prominent outshut at the front of the fourth and fifth bays. It includes a chamfered doorway with a Tudor-arch lintel that has been altered to serve as a window, along with an owl-hole above it that has a perching ledge. There is a similar doorway in the re-entrant wall of the outshut, which has also been altered, as well as a chamfered doorway and an inserted stable door in the front wall of the outshut. The rear of the barn has a blocked segmental-headed wagon entrance.

The interior of the farmhouse was not inspected as it was unoccupied at the time of the survey. The right-hand end of the barn and the outshut are combined to create a shippon with stalls arranged laterally.
