Description

Sun View Cottage is a house, which was later divided into two dwellings, dating from the mid to late 16th century. A stack was inserted in the mid 17th century, and the building was refronted in the 19th century. It has a timber frame that is plastered and refronted in red brick, topped with a steeply pitched glazed pantiled roof. The cottage has a small three-cell plan and is one storey with an attic. The entrance is located to the right, featuring two and three-light glazing bar casements that are all recessed with segmental heads and hood moulds. There is a former entrance and a 20th-century garage door to the left. A two-light bargeboarded gabled dormer is present, along with an axial ridge stack to the right of center, which was rebuilt in the 19th century with a sawtooth shaft. The gable ends are faced with brick. At the rear, there is a lean-to outshut addition and a two-storey brick addition, beyond which extends a clay lump wing. Inside, there is an opposing pair of base cruck blades supporting a raised tie beam on the central truss over the hall, while elsewhere, there is box framing with jowled posts and ground floor chamfered axial binding beams.
