Description
Sunnyside Cottage is a cottage that may have originally been two separate cottages, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with an enlargement or an additional cottage added in the late 19th to early 20th century. The building is constructed of plastered cob or rubble, with rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brick and one plastered stack, all beneath a thatched roof.
The cottage has a three-room plan and faces south, featuring a front corner stack on the right (east) end and a disused axial stack serving the middle room. The left end contains an entrance lobby with a front door. It is two storeys high and has an irregular two-window front, mostly consisting of late 19th to early 20th-century casements with glazing bars, along with some early glass panes. There is a four-panel door at the left end of the front and a plank door to the right of centre, both of which have 20th-century porches.
Inside, the left (west) end displays only plain details, while the right end features a late 17th-century axial beam that is chamfered with run-out stops and a corner fireplace. The roof is inaccessible.
