Description
Sunnyside is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and has been extended and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building has a timber frame that is plastered and features a thatched roof. It likely follows a three-cell cross passage plan, with an additional bay added to the left, which is the parlour end. The house is two storeys high and has entrances in the centre and to the right of centre, both featuring 20th-century gabled porches with decorative bargeboards. The windows include one and two-light glazing bar casements set in moulded frames, with hoodboards over the ground floor windows. A central axial ridge stack is present, along with added external stacks on both gable ends that are part of lean-to outshuts. The rear includes an oven that projects behind the stack, along with 20th-century additions. Inside, there are chamfered cross axial binding beams, some exposed studding, and tension bracing, although much of the frame is concealed.
