Appraisal
Although modernised, the original form and character of Sunville is still retained. The exposure of the front wall highlights the different materials used in its construction. The contrasting red brick window surrounds and rubble sandstone walls adds textural variation to its appearance. The additional range of outbuilding, coach house and lodge and entrance gates form an integral part of the architectural heritage of Pallas Green.
