Hello,
Looking at Old Maps it looks to be ‘Sunnyside’.

http://pittvillehistory.org.uk/bios/Hyett.html  It was used as a maternity home during WW2 according to this.

The building is there but not the name. That is provided it is the one I think it is. 
There are planning documents etc online.

Thank you all for your interesting and helpful information. At the moment I’m being influenced by a family member who is convinced it’s not Sunnyside. Trying to keep an open mind, perhaps a resident of Byron Court might know.
New Year Greetings

I was influenced by the planning applications which I mentioned but I haven’t scrutinised them.

‘Formally (sic) known as Sunnyside’.

However your family member might have better knowledge of the area.
