Description

Sunny Bank is a house built in the mid-17th century, featuring red and blue chequered brick with sandstone dressings and a plain tiled roof. The building has an L-shaped plan in the Tudor style and consists of a single storey with an attic, set on a stone plinth. It has stone quoins at the kneelered parapet gables, with a projecting wing to the left that has a gable topped with a finial. There is a moulded octagonal stack to the left and a large offset freestanding stone stack to the right, both with moulded octagonal brick flues. A gabled dormer is located on the right side.

On the first floor to the left, there is a wooden casement window with a label hood, and below it, a canted bay window. To the right on the ground floor, there is another wooden casement window with a label hood, and in the centre, a rib and stud door set in a raking rustic porch. The left return elevation features label hooded cross windows and a catslide outshot at the rear. Inside, the right end stack includes an inglenook fireplace.
