Description
Sunhill Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of brick and timber framing with brick nogging, topped by an old tile half-hipped roof. The building features three chimneys: one off-centre to the left, one centrally located on the ridge, and one at the end to the right. The entrance has been altered from its original lobby type. The farmhouse has two storeys and consists of three framed bays on the right, with a later addition on the left. The front has four windows, all of which are casements. A central gabled porch leads to the door.
