Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a former farmhouse located on Main Street in Gawcott, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with older origins. It was extended in the 18th century and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is rendered over limestone rubble and features a slate roof with a brick ridge end stack and a pebbledashed ridge and left end stack. It has two storeys and a three-window range. The central entrance is a 20th-century door, with a three-light casement window to the ground floor right and a late 19th-century canted bay window to the left. The first floor has three-light casements and two-light casements to the left of centre. There is a two-storey wing to the rear, likely from the 18th century, and a former outbuilding to the left side of the wing, which is now part of the general accommodation.

Inside, the property features stop-chamfered spine beams. The room on the ground floor left has a late 19th-century painted slate chimneypiece and a fitted cupboard opposite, which has glazed double-leaf doors with a semi-domed head and shaped shelves. The room on the ground floor right has an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer and an exposed lower portion of a former full cruck truss, which is likely the only surviving timber. The ground floor room in the wing has a stone-flagged floor, and there is a three-light leaded casement window, now internal, on the first floor rear left. Additionally, there is a tie beam truss in the former outbuilding.
