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.

Local climate

Sunnyside sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
