Description

Sunny Nook is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features whitewashed sandstone rubble walls and a thatched roof that is covered with corrugated-iron sheets, along with brick chimney stacks. The building is a single storey with two bays, likely formed from the conversion of two cottages into one, as indicated by a filled entrance. The windows are Yorkshire sashes with glazing bars. An extension to the left connects this cottage to Clematis Cottage.
