Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations from the early 17th century. It is a three-cell open-hall house, although one cell has been replaced by a 17th-century parlour block. The building has one storey and attics, featuring a timber frame that is plastered. The thatched roof is half-hipped at the left end and includes 19th-century eyebrow casement dormers. There is a red brick axial chimney and various early and later 19th-century casements. The entrance door, which is battened and made of planks, originates from the 16th or 17th century and is set within a 20th-century gabled porch with a pantiled roof.

Inside, there is a complete two-bay open hall. The open truss features a cambered tie-beam, although the arch-braces have been removed. The roof is constructed with coupled rafters and shows light smoke blackening. A blocked cross-entry doorway with a 4-centred arched head remains, along with evidence of twin service room doorways and a parlour doorway that have since been removed. The hall originally had diamond-mullioned windows, one of which was reduced for a smaller 17th-century window. The close-studding is arch wind-braced.

In the early 17th century, a large open fireplace was added to the service cell, which was later demolished and replaced by a large parlour featuring an arched brick open fireplace. The parlour has chamfered exposed floor joists, and a similar upper floor has been inserted into the hall. The roof is a wind-braced clasped-purlin type. The 17th-century lobby entrance includes a complete newel staircase positioned against the chimney. This building serves as a notable example of the "reversal" of an open hall house during the 17th century.
