Description
The outhouse at Sunny Bank is a Grade II listed building constructed from local limestone rubble and topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring red ridge tiles. It is a small rectangular structure that has two doors facing the yard, along with an opening above them. There is a taking-in door for the hayloft located on the gable side that faces the street. The rear wall of the building is blind, meaning it has no openings. Although the interior was not inspected during the resurvey, it likely contains a stable and a store or byre on the lower level, with a hayloft situated above.
