Description

Sunnybank and Rose Cottage are a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. They are constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble and feature an artificial stone slate roof that is hipped at the southeast end. The buildings are two storeys high with an attic.

On the northeast side, there are two early 20th-century fixed-light windows to the right of a 20th-century flat-roofed extension, which is not of special architectural interest. To the left, there is an infilled doorway and another blocked doorway immediately to the right. There is a late 20th-century casement window to the left and early 20th-century casements in the centre and right on the first floor, all positioned directly below the eaves. The roof slope has two gabled dormers.

There is a part-rendered ridge stack in two sections to the left of the center and an external lateral stack with a purple brick shaft at the rear on the left. The interior of Sunnybank, the northwest cottage, was the only part inspected. It features chamfered ceiling beams in both the ground and first-floor rooms, an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel, a stud partition wall on the first floor, and a double butt-purlin roof with collar trusses visible in the attic. A 20th-century extension at right angles to the rear of Sunnybank is not of special architectural interest.
