Home built by Arthur Bunning in 1909. Large two-storey house with steeply pitched terracotta shingle roof extending over verandah. It was named 'Colwyn' after a bay in Wales on the Irish Sea. The property appears to be Lots 1 & 2 of portion of Swan location P253 which was originally a pensioner guard block. Mrs Evelyn Bunning disliked the strong winds off Freshwater Bay and 'Colwyn' was sold to J.B.L. Weir in 1921, B.W. Nairn in 1947, The Waddy Waddy Pastoral Company Ltd in 1949 and then to J.H.C. & E.V. Macaulay in 1953. It was then sold in 2006 and underwent extensive conservation. During this time, the block was subdivided, and the lower, riverside portion was sold. The upper block, 'Colwyn', was sold again in 2011.
