Sunbury Cottage And Attached Outbuilding

Sunbury Cottage and the attached outbuilding are located in Alwington Ford and date back to the 17th century. The house is on the left, while the outbuilding is on the right, both connected by extensions from the mid-19th century and 20th century at the center. The house features colourwashed render over stone and cob, with a 19th-century extension made of rendered stone and brick. It has a hipped thatch roof with a mid-19th-century brick end stack on the 17th-century part and a gabled slate roof with a similar end stack at the center. The 17th-century house is two stories tall and has a three-window range, with a gabled hood over a central 20th-century door and late 19th-century plate-glass sash windows. The mid-19th-century extension is also two stories with a two-window range, featuring 20th-century windows and a bay window. To the right, there is a 20th-century extension (circa 1980) connected to the 17th-century outbuilding, which is made of rendered stone and cob and has a gabled and half-hipped thatch roof. This outbuilding has a 20th-century door at the front and a 17th-century plank door to the left, along with early 19th-century outshuts that have scantled slate roofs on the left. Inside, the house has A-frame roofs with pegged collars, with five bays in the house and three bays in the outbuilding. The left bay of the house features a 17th-century truss with a crossed apex and sawn principal rafters of large scantling.
