Description
Sunnyside is a late 18th century, 2-storey, 3-bay farmhouse that was originally oriented east-west but was re-oriented with additions by architects Peddie and Kinnear in 1865. The building is constructed of random whinstone rubble that is harled, with sandstone dressings and stone mullions for the bipartite windows. There are single-storey outbuildings to the north.
On the east elevation, there is a gabled wing addition to the farmhouse with an entrance to a turret located in the southeast re-entrant angle. The entrance features a curved six-panel door with moulded architraves, a hoodmould, and a date plaque from 1856. Flanking the door are two windows to the turret, with a bipartite window above that has a moulded cill course and eaves course. To the left, there is a single bay of the older house with a window on each floor. The later wing to the right has taller windows at both the ground and first floors, with a first-floor window breaking the eaves in a gabled dormer that features a corbelled hoodmould and a blank plaque at the gablehead. The gable end of the wing is rounded on the returns and corbels out to the eaves, with two tall, narrow windows at the ground floor, a bipartite window at the first floor, and an arrow-slit window in the attic.
The west elevation, which was the former front of the house, is 2-storey and 3-bay, with the bays grouped towards the centre. There is a window in each bay at each floor, with a bipartite window in the outer left bay at the ground floor. The doorway was likely formerly located in the centre.
The north and south elevations show a blank wall to the later wing on the north side, with a single-storey service addition to the farmhouse that has a window to the left at the ground floor, two windows at the first floor, and a small opening to the attic. The south gable wall has a window on each floor.
The windows throughout are sash and case, predominantly featuring a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roofs are covered with grey slates, including the gables, dormer, and the conical roof of the turret. The crowstepped gables and beak skewputts were added in 1865. There are ashlar coped stacks and a shouldered wallhead stack on the north wing, along with some decorative cans and gutter features.
Inside, original plasterwork and woodwork have been preserved.
