      Sunnyside - Physical Description 1

      As described in the 1991 study, as constructed, this house was Oriental in its form and detail, steeply gabled and simply massed in the Voysey manner. It also possessed unusual aspects such as the early use of diamond pattern asbestos shingling and what appears to be asbestos sheet cladding, with cover straps, over a weatherboarded base. Chinese eaves brackets support the tea-house like flared attic roof line along one elevation and under the verandah but, the ribbed chimneys, grouped casement windows and their leaded patterns, reflect more common Edwardian house details.

      Since the 1991 survey (Camberwell Conservation Study), major alterations and additions have been undertaken, with the addition in works carried out in c. 2001 of two new gables to its north front and a transverse high-light to its south side. The house was also completely re-roofed with new slate. Approximately half of the existing south elevation was constructed at this time, and the east side dormer was given a new central window.

      The entire garden has been removed and replaced with new plantings, and the external paving, a full-height planking fence and outsized lich-gate are all new.
