Description
Sundaywell is a building that features a square tower, which may date back to 1651, as indicated by a datestone reset in the porch. The structure was likely converted into a three-storey house in the late 18th century, characterized by a regular two-window east elevation. A lower two-storey addition was added to the south, probably in the mid-19th century, although it may incorporate earlier work. The building now serves as a farmhouse and has a low steading range attached to the west.
The house is harled, and the tower includes 12-pane sash and case windows with margins. There is a barge-boarded gabled porch on the east wall, which features the datestone in the gable head. The north side has two windows, and there are two wall-head stacks. The roof is piended and covered with slate. The addition has two first-floor windows with gabled dormer heads.
The steading was largely constructed in the early 19th century and consists of three rectangular ranges built in a U-plan around an open courtyard. The buildings are made of whitewashed rubble with ashlar dressings. The south and west ranges are each single storey, with an additional door leading to the house in the former. The taller north range features square loft windows typical of a barn facing the courtyard, along with a cartshed that has square-headed openings.
