Description

Sunhaven is a building that was constructed in 1857 by George and Peto, originally serving as a house and later a restaurant, and is now a factory. It is designed in the Norman Shaw style and features red brick with gauged brick dressings, along with some timber framing on the garden front and tower. The roofs are made of stone slabs, with the tower having a wood-shingled roof. The building has an H-shaped plan with a square tower at the center of the rear and double gable bays to the right. It is two stories high with attics and tall stacks on the roof ridges on the left, right, and rear.

The front entrance showcases projecting gabled end wings and a central porch. There is a decorative eaves cornice with modillions and floral brick decoration above, including a section to the right of center featuring putti in the Italian style. The attic has six dormer windows, three on either side of the center; the outer windows have segmented pediments while the central window has a triangular pediment. On each floor to the left of center, there are three glazing bar sash windows with flanking shutters, featuring gauged brick heads on the first floor and pedimented hoods on the ground floor, with outer triangular pediments and a central segmented one. To the right of center, there are two large staircase windows under gauged brick heads.

The central entrance porch has a lunette in the gable above a decorative band. There is a casement window on the first floor beneath a foliage-decorated hood and gauged brick head, with double doors below in an arched surround featuring a cartouche Coat of Arms.

On the right-hand return front, there are two gabled bays with pargetting in the gables. Wooden balconies are present across the splat balusters, with posts braced and topped with a modillion cornice. The ground floor features square bays that project outward. The square tower at the rear has an open upper stage with wooden lame pilaster piers and an iron finial.
