Description

Carberry House, located within Carberry Tower, was built in 1909 and is a two-storey house designed in an H-plan layout, featuring single-storey porches that fill the re-entrant angles and showcase Tudor architectural details. The exterior is harled with cream sandstone ashlar dressings, and there is applied timber-framing on the jettied gableheads, which are canopied on swept cavetto corbel courses. The windows are made of stone mullions.

On the southeast elevation, there is a lean-to porch in the central recess, which includes an original section to the right with a bipartite window and modern infill to the left that consists of timber boarding, a doorway, and a window. Above, there are two windows on the first storey under a gabled dormerhead. The outer right features two-storey gabled bays with a rectangular, six-light, piend-roofed window at ground level and two bipartite windows on the first floor. The mirrored bays on the outer left have a tripartite window and a single window on both the ground and first floors.

The northeast elevation has a flat-roofed porch set in the re-entrant angle at the centre, with a dormerhead above a single first-floor window. The gabled outer bay to the right includes a window at ground level and a doorway on the first floor with a cast-iron forestair. The outer bay to the left features a doorway and window at ground level, along with two first-floor windows.

Both the east and west elevations are three-bay designs, with a canopied, applied timber-framed gablehead in the centre bay. The west elevation has single windows at ground and first floors in the centre and outer right bays, and a bipartite window in the outer left bay. The east elevation includes a modern addition at ground level on the outer right, with a first-floor window above, and a forestair leading to the first-floor doorway at the centre, with a window below; there is also a window in each floor of the outer left bay.

The sash and case windows feature a multi-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with grey-green slates. The eaves overhang with timber brackets and bargeboarding, and the ashlar-margined, harled stacks retain their original cans. Decorative gutterheads are dated 1910.
