Description
Sunnyside Cottage is a small house dating from the later 17th century. It features rendered cob and rubble walls and a hipped thatch roof, with an axial brick stack. The layout consists of a three-room plan with an axial stack that has back-to-back fireplaces serving both the right-hand and central rooms, with entry into the left-hand room.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, which include 20th-century two and three-light casements. The ground floor windows are later additions, and there is a 20th-century gabled and glazed porch to the left of centre.
Inside, the right-hand end room has a fireplace with a roughly chamfered lintel. The central room features chamfered cross beams with diagonal cut stops.
