Sunny Bank and Rose Cottage

Sunny Bank and Rose Cottage are a pair of houses built around 1830 to 1840, likely designed by Paxton and Robertson. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone and ashlar, featuring banded quoins with a pitted tooled finish. The roofs are hipped and gabled, covered with stone slates, and there are two ashlar ridge stacks along with two lateral stacks between the two pitches, all topped with octagonal paired shafts.

The houses are two storeys high with a double fronted south elevation. This facade includes a central gabled porch that showcases banded rustication, a coped gable with plain kneelers, and a finial. There is a plain impost band and a shallow segmental arched entrance. The entrance is flanked by glazing bar sash windows, which have four raised blocks in the jambs, and there are two similar windows located above.

These houses were built as part of the picturesque model village created by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
