Description
Sunnyside is a quadrangular steading built in 1865 by the architects Peddie and Kinnear from Edinburgh. It includes a house on the west side and features two covered cattle courts that have been altered for modern use. The structure is made of mixed sandstone and whinstone rubble, likely utilizing existing materials from the site, with grey sandstone dressings and chamfered arrises around the main openings.
The south range has an 11-bay entrance front that includes two five-arched cart sheds with granaries above them. There is a segmentally arched pend leading to a central gabled block. Above the windows, there is a roll-moulded cill course, and crowstepped gabled dormerheads are present on each side. The range ends in gable ends, featuring a window at both the ground and first floor on the left, and an arched cart opening on the right with wooden doors and a window above.
The west range consists of two stables, each with eight stalls to the north, and granaries with a loft to the south. There is a crowstepped L-plan gabled cottage located left of center, which adjoins a blank outside wall of the steading. This single-storey cottage has a partial attic and an entrance through a porch in the re-entrant angle. It features sash and case windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern. To the south, there is a boiler house with crowstepped gables and a slit window, along with a brick stalk that has an ashlar base adjoining on the left.
The north and east ranges accommodate additional stables and a granary, which have now been adapted for modern use. This range likely incorporates earlier structures adjoining the house to the east and includes a cart shed supported by two drum piers and a lintel, along with two outhouses.
The building is topped with grey slates, has crowstepped gables, and features beak skewputts. The dormers have moulded skews, and there is corbelling at the southwest corner. A single brick stack is present on the cottage.
