Description
Sunnyside Farmhouse and the attached outbuilding to the left are likely from the early 18th century, with some repointing of the main house in the late 18th century or early 19th century and the outhouse raised from one storey. The farmhouse is built from coursed sandstone featuring fine herringbone tooling, and it has a pantiled roof with stone ridge, copings, and kneelers, along with brick and rendered stacks. The layout follows a hearth-passage plan, with plinths on both the house and downhouse. The back part of the farmhouse is two storeys tall with two bays, while the main house is taller. It features a top-glazed six-panel through-passage door set in a 19th-century pent wood porch. The windows include 20-pane tripartite designs with 12-pane central opening sashes. The downhouse is irregular, with replaced small-paned Yorkshire sashes, except for an early 19th-century sash on the first floor to the left and a small chamfered window to the left of the door. The main house has block kneelers and end chimneys, while the downhouse has conjoined ridge chimneys, one of which is rendered. There are attic windows in the right return gable.
The outbuilding is slightly lower, consisting of one storey and a loft. It has five bays on the left and includes two builds: a central barn flanked by a byre and a stable. The barn features a central door, two vent slits on the left, and a loft door above. The byre on the left has two stable doors, while the stable on the right, which adjoins the house and is probably the older part, has a door and a small casement to the right with a shutter pintle and a loading door above. All doors have heavy tooled lintels and the eaves are stepped. The byre and stable contain old internal partitions.
Inside the house, the back kitchen has a fireplace with a peat plate, a separate fire for the oven, and a reckon. Original beams on the ground floor feature quarter-round mouldings and a corniced firebeam. Stairs are located behind the houseplace, and there is a small 18th-century fireplace in the parlour. A later calf house at the far end of the byre is not of special interest.
