Description
Sunnyhill Farmhouse is a building dating from the 18th century or earlier. It is constructed of local stone rubble with an undulating plain clay tile roof, stone ridge, plain verges, and brick chimney stacks on stone bases. The farmhouse is arranged in an "L" shape, with a two-bay east elevation, a two-bay extension to the south, and a projecting six-bay extension to the east. The east elevation has twelve-pane sash windows in plain openings, the lower windows featuring voussoired segmental heads; a small, flat-roofed dormer has a sixteen-pane sash window. The eastwards extension includes a segmental brick arched recessed doorway bay, while other openings feature 20th-century casement windows. The remaining elevations have twelve-pane sash windows and sixteen-pane dormer sash windows. It is a large and substantial building, formerly owned by the Leir family, and it is believed to have been Charlton Musgrove Rectory prior to 1806, a detail shared with the nearby Old Coach House.
