Description
Dunearn House is an early 19th-century single-storey cottage with an attic, featuring a wide three-bay T-plan and a piend roof. The design includes elements reminiscent of the cottage orne style, with a slated roof that sweeps over curved dormer windows that break the eaves, and a bowed wall at the end of the T-projection. The exterior is harled with painted stone margins, basket-arched windows, and vestigial hoodmoulds.
On the south elevation, which serves as the entrance, the layout is symmetrical. A glazed tripartite door is centrally located within a piended porch addition, flanked by bipartite windows. There is a large rooflight at the center, with tripartite dormer windows on either side.
The north elevation features a bowed wall with two windows, and a bipartite window is set in a recessed wall to the left. The east elevation has two windows in a recessed wall. The west elevation includes a bipartite window in an advanced wall to the outer right, a small catslide-roofed projection with a window in the re-entrant to the left, and a recessed T-arm with a door to the outer left, along with windows to the right and left of the center.
The windows are a mix of 4-pane and plate glass in sash and case styles, with casement windows in the dormers. The roof is covered with grey slates, graded on a circular section, and features coped ashlar stacks with cans and thackstanes.
Surrounding the property are extensive coped random rubble boundary walls, complemented by pyramid-coped square gatepiers made of rusticated ashlar blocks.
