Description
Sunnybank Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 17th century, with later alterations and additions. These include a refronting and rebuilding of the right-hand bay in the mid to late 18th century. The building is constructed of brick, primarily in English Garden wall bond, and has a concrete pantile roof. It stands two storeys high with a rear outshut and features four first-floor windows. The rear of the house has an irregular plan, and both the front and rear walls appear to have been raised at different times and to varying heights.
At the base, there is a sandstone rubble plinth with an ovolo offset. In the third bay, there is a 19th-century four-panel door set in a wooden doorcase with unfluted Doric columns that support a Tuscan entablature with a cornice. The windows are 16-pane sash windows with exposed sash boxes, projecting sills, wedge lintels, and crown glass. A first-floor band of stretchers, an ovolo course, and headers are present, along with tabled eaves courses. The house has stacks at both ends and a ridge stack at the centre.
At the rear, there are some 18th-century side-sliding sash windows on the ground floor. Inside, the ground-floor room to the left of the door contains a four-door cupboard with L-hinges and a 17th-century stop-chamfered cross beam. The kitchen to the right of the door features encaustic floor tiles from around 1800 and a tie-beam. There is also a splat baluster staircase in the outshut.
