Sunnydene

Sunnydene is a late 18th-century house, modified in the 19th century. It is built of local stone, now rendered, with a plain concrete tile roof and a brick chimney stack. The house has an “L” shape, with its main facade facing the rear. The front elevation, which is random in appearance, has a mix of sash and casement windows. A passageway is located at the west end, featuring a timber architraved gateway with segmental arched frets and a pair of fielded panelled gates.

The rear elevation has three bays over two storeys, with returns. It features double four-pane sash windows on both levels in bay one; a six-panel door in bay two, sheltered by an anse-de-panier hood supported on stone corbels, with a small margined sash window above; and a 20th-century casement window in what was formerly a doorway in bay three. A return wing was probably added later.

The interior includes fielded panelling in several rooms, six-panel doors, and a Regency period staircase. Notable features are a shell hood recess in the east room, and some scroll-stop beams with run-out stops.
