into 2 cottages probably in C19 at lower end of passage; in Sunnyside to left the
passage was blocked at either end to become a small room and a passage inserted
along the rear wall incorporating a staircase. Rear outshut added to Ladysmith

Sunnyside has an asymmetrical 1-window front, 2 to the ground floor, all 2-light
casements. The first floor window is in a dormer and is probably C19. The ground
floor windows are C20, the right-hand one was originally the doorway to passage.
All windows are without glazing bars. projection towards the left end, apparently
originally for chimney. C20 conservatory/porch at left-hand gable end has door.
Interior: no original features visible in Sunnyside. Ladysmith Cottage contains 2
ovens with stone openings to the left of the modern fireplace. To the right is a
C17 smoking chamber, circular with a corbelled stone roof which has a flue at the
top. Roof structure completely replaced in late C20.
An important feature of this building is the unusual survival of the smoking
chamber.
