Description
Sunnyside is a house dated 1774, with a rear wing added in 1848 and further alterations made over time. It is a 2-storey, 3-bay building that originally had a rectangular plan, with a 2-storey wing at the rear creating a near T-plan. There is also a later single-storey addition at the front. The exterior is mainly made of harl-pointed rubble, with a harled west elevation and harled front addition, featuring cream sandstone dressings. The principal block has mutuled eaves, droved quoins, and long and short surrounds around the openings, with ashlar margins that are partially painted and predominantly projecting cills.
On the south elevation, there is a part-glazed boarded timber door at the center of the ground floor, framed by an architraved and corniced surround. To the right, there is a later enlarged bipartite window, while to the left, there is a 3-light window in a single-storey, flat-roofed projection that is out of character. The first floor has single windows in all bays.
The east elevation features a gable end on the left with a single window at ground level to the right and a blocked opening to the left. There is a single window at the first floor to the left and a small attic light centered in the apex. A later 4-bay range is recessed to the right, with a single window at ground level on the outer left and single windows on both floors in the next bay to the right, where the lower lintel is dated '1848'. There is a boarded timber door at ground level, offset to the right of center, and single windows on both floors to the outer right.
The west elevation has a gable end on the right with a single window at ground level to the left. A later range is recessed to the left, with a single window at ground level to the right and single windows on both floors in the next bay to the left. There is also a lean-to addition offset to the left of center.
The windows are predominantly 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The roofs are covered with grey slate, featuring stone-coped skews and decorative rope-moulding skewputts, although the one at the front left is missing. The building has corniced, brick-built ridge and apex stacks with various octagonal and circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1999. The garden walls are rubble-coped, partially enclosing the site with rubble walls.
