Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a house that dates from the early 14th century and 16th century, with extensions made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The original structure includes a two-bay service crossing from an early 14th-century hall house, of which the rest has been demolished. This part is aligned northwest to southeast and features a 18th or 19th-century external chimney stack on the southwest side.

There is a two-bay extension to the northwest from the 16th century, which includes an axial chimney stack at the northwest end, dating from the 17th century. A single-storey extension from the 19th century extends beyond this, along with a lean-to extension on the southwest. A 20th-century extension on the northeast forms a T-plan. The house has two storeys and features a 20th-century door, three 20th-century casement windows, and two additional windows on the first floor.

Inside the 14th-century crosswing, the side walls have heavy studs spaced at 686mm apart, with 355mm spacing in the upper southeast wall, which was originally jettied but is now underbuilt with brick. The northeast wall contains one half of a two-centred doorhead. The posts are jowled, and the central tiebeam is steeply cambered, with one arched brace still present while the other has been removed. Each wallplate features a splayed and undersquinted scarf secured by two edge-pegs. The roof was originally constructed with crownposts but was altered to clasped purlin construction in the late 16th century. The floor and lower side walls of the southeast bay show significant alterations, likely due to fire damage.

The 16th-century extension has jowled posts, plain-chamfered axial beams, and joists with a horizontal section. The northwest end features interrupted tiebeam construction, possibly intended for a timber-framed chimney that is now covered by a 17th-century brick chimney stack. Each wallplate in this section has an edge-halved and bridled scarf. In the upper northeast wall, there is an unglazed window with three diamond mullions, which is now located inside the 20th-century extension. The roof in this part is of clasped purlin construction.
