Description
Sunnyside and Thatched Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. They are one and a half storeys high, featuring single-storey lean-tos along the east and west gable walls. The cottages are timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain brick shaft. Each cottage has three two-light casement windows, which include horizontal bars on the lights, one window located in the lean-to, and one eyebrow dormer with a similar two-light window. The doors are plank style with plain surrounds. The western cottage has a 20th-century single-storey enclosed porch added.
