This property was one of the first settled in the area. It is associated with John Scott, the first settler in Bunbury under the employ of Governor James Stirling, then H. J. Trigwell, owner of Anchor and Hope Inn and then George Layman (Wonnerup House). It is a good example of a Victorian Georgian house and has fine decorative Flemish bond brickwork in good condition. The interior is original with its timber ceilings and floor boards.
Careydale is a single storey brick house with a hipped roof in the Victorian Georgian style. It is one of a number in the Shire that has Flemish bond brickwork with a contrasting blue fired half brick. The front and rear facades are symmetrical, each with two front doors flanked by multi lighted double hung windows. Pressed metal tiles have been introduced to the roof and concrete introduced to the verandah flooring. The verandah is supported by brick piers in place of timber posts. The original jarrah ceilings and floorboards remain internally.
