Description

Sunnybank and the Post Office is a house, now divided into two houses, dated 1679 with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, featuring an irregular plan with a gabled bay that is two bays deep, an added bay to the left, and a lower projecting half-bay to the right that includes a dated doorway on its right return. The structure has quoins and glazed doors in plain surrounds to the right of bays one and two. There are narrow chamfered surrounds to a ground and first-floor window to the left of bay two, and a three-light stepped recessed chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould on the gable of the projecting right bay. The remaining two ground-floor and two first-floor windows are rectangular, with slightly projecting surrounds and 20th-century casements. A corniced ashlar stack is located at the ridge far left, and another is at the eaves to the right of the ridge of the right bay.

On the right return, the left bay projects as a wide entrance porch with a finely-moulded chamfered doorway, featuring moulding that steps up across the lintel and above the raised lettering "16 TA 79", with a hoodmould above. There is a blocked recessed chamfered mullion window to the left and one on the first floor; the right return of this bay has a small round-headed chamfered light on the ground floor and a similar square-headed window on the first floor. The right bay gable end of the main range has a four-light mullion window on the ground floor and a similar three-light window above, both recessed and chamfered. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
