  House, 382 Dunolly Road, CARAPOOEE - Physical Description 1
  
  The house at 382 Dunolly Road, Carapooee has a rural setting with a fenced grassed area having perimeter garden beds and shrubbery, together with a row of mature cypress trees to one side. Other plantings are a mixture of native and exotic trees at the rear and near the front.
  
  There is also more recent planting of shrubbery forming a hedge along the front. The single storey, painted brick, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with rear gable roofs that project at the side that may represent later additions. There are also rear introduced skillion additions. These roof forms are clad in red-painted galvanised corrugated iron, and more recent galvanised corrugated steel. Early painted brick chimneys with terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets are features of the eaves.
  
  Another feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported by more recent turned timber columns, with introduced arched timber fretwork valances that are appropriate.
  
  Other early features of the design include the paired timber framed double hung windows, and the central front timber framed doorway.
  
  The projecting gable at the side has early vermiculated quoinwork along the building corner, and stuccoed gable infill behind decorative timber work.
