Sunley Hill Farmhouse

Sunley Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with earlier origins and later alterations and extensions. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone and features a pantile roof with brick stacks, one of which has been rebuilt. The building has a central stairhall plan, is one room deep, and extends to the left with a rear outshut added.

The front elevation is two storeys high with three windows, and there is a 1½-storey, two-window range to the left. The farmhouse has irregular quoins and a central six-panel door beneath a rectangular fanlight, all framed by a Doric pilastered doorcase with an entablature and cornice. The windows on either side of the door are 16-pane sashes with stone sills, raised surrounds, and wedge lintels, with three similar windows on the first floor. There is a blocked doorway in the lower range to the right of a 20th-century two-light casement with glazing bars, and above it are three-light and two-light horizontal sliding sashes, all featuring heavy, milled lintels. The gables are coped, and there are shaped kneelers and end stacks.

Inside, the farmhouse has an open-string staircase with shaped cheekpieces over squared panelling, twined balusters, and a moulded handrail that ramps up to the first landing, along with twined newel posts. Raised and fielded panelled doors open off the stairhall, and there are raised and fielded panelled window reveals in the ground floor rooms. A stop-chamfered beam from the earlier house survives in the ground floor room to the end left.
