Description
Sunny Cottage and the attached barn are a house and barn complex dating from the early 17th century. The structure is built of coursed squared ironstone rubble and features concrete tile roofs, with brick stacks at one end and a stone and brick shaft at the other. The house has a two-unit through-passage plan, is two storeys high, and has a three-window range. The entrance features an old ribbed plank door with strap hinges set in a chamfered wood frame with a wood lintel above. The windows include two- and three-light leaded casements with painted wood lintels, and there is a chamfered stone fire window on the right side. On the first floor, a central three-light stone mullioned window with a hood mould is present.
To the right of the house is a two-storey, two-window range that incorporates part of the barn, which dates back to around 1500. This barn was altered and raised in the late 18th or early 19th century to serve as a stable or cowhouse and hayloft, and it was converted in the late 20th century. It has a tile roof and late 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The rear of the building features stone mullions and old leaded casements.
Inside, the house has a stone flagged through passage, and the room to the left contains an open fireplace and a stepped stop broad-chamfered ceiling beam. Other rooms have chamfered beams and some old plank doors. A bedroom includes a built-in cupboard made from 17th-century panelling. The attached barn, dating from around 1500, is also constructed of coursed ironstone rubble and has a thatched roof. It likely originally had three bays but now has two, with double doors and a small casement window to the right. The interior features two pairs of raised crucks, with the foot of one blade cut off, and includes rough upper and lower collars, purlins, and rafters. The house includes one room from Carpenters Cottage.
