Description

Sunnyside is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered house, which was refronted in the 18th century. It stands immediately west of the school on Lower Street. The building has one storey and attics, featuring a three-window range with double-hung sashes that include glazing bars. There are two canted bays with three lights each. The entrance has a four-panel door, with the upper panels glazed and surrounded by a reeded architrave. The roof is thatched and includes two gabled dormers. At the rear, there is a timber-framed and weatherboarded wing. Sunnyside, along with the adjacent Wedcot and house, Mizbah, Rawhide, and the Railway Arms Public House, forms a notable group.

Local climate

Sunnyside sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
