Description
Dunbarney House is a building dating from around 1697 or slightly later. It features a three-storey, six-window symmetrical front made of rubble, with a central doorpiece that has a shouldered and keystoned design, flanked by windows. There is a low second floor and a four-column Roman Doric porch with half columns instead of pilasters.
To the east, there is a two-storey parallel wing, added in the late 18th century, which matches the height and length of the main building. This wing has five large round-headed windows on the first floor, with an ashlar east frontage, and two windows in the south gable that were blocked around 1880.
Inside, the entrance hall features a seven-bay colonnade of fluted Doric columns with circular abaci and fine original joinery. The large drawing room has decoration that is derived from the Adam style. There are later additions to the north, which include a service wing and offices that have been converted into garages. These have arched and keystoned windows dated 1772, and part of the wing includes a bellcote. The property is surrounded by rubble-built garden walls.
