Description
Sunny Corner is a house dating from the early 19th century. It features slatestone rubble on the first floor with rendered cob above, and has ashlar granite quoins and lintels. The roof is made of rag slate, with gable ends and brick end stacks. Originally, the house was likely built as a pair of one-room plan cottages, with two entrances near the center and ground floor rooms heated by end stacks. In the early to mid-20th century, it was converted into a single two-room plan house, with the entrance now located to the left of center.
The exterior has a regular two-window front, with granite lintels above the ground floor openings. The entrance is to the left of center, featuring a partly glazed 20th-century plank door and a small 20th-century lean-to timber porch. There is a blocked entrance that was originally for the right-hand cottage, which is adjacent. The ground floor has two four-pane sash windows on either side, while the first floor has two early 19th-century hornless 16-pane sash windows. The interior has not been inspected, but the cottage remains unaltered and forms a group with Oak Cottage.
