Dunbaris - Physical Description 1
Dating from c.1860, the house called Dunbaris an example of the Victorian Regency style, albeit with significant alterations over time. It is single storey constructed inface red brick with a hipped slate roof. The ridge line has apex ornamentation in terracotta, which may be a later addition. The form is largely symmetrical with a front block with hipped roof intersected by two wings. There are two veranda extensions, one to the original street frontage to Kalparrin Ave, and one to the northern elevation. Windows appear to be casements with top light, and muntins forming small panes in each section. Openings feature subtle projections from the wall surface to form a head and sill. The building has several brick chimneys which have square-moulded tops. Bluestone pitchers were added to walls, boundaries and garden in the early 1900s and some of these remain. The property is located directly adjacent to the railway. It is surrounded by trees on all sides and has grass lawns. The setting adjacent to the railway line with a view over Whatmough Park enhances the rural atmosphere.
