Carisbrook House
Announcement
Car park entrance via Waterview Drive
Experience life in the 1880s...
Wander through this house and immerse yourself in rooms that evoke a day in the lives of Charles and Marian Brooks, who built this sandstone house on land owned by the family from the 1850s. Stories of the family and the house echo a time when the North Shore was a world away from the heart of Sydney.
Set in tranquil gardens that go down to the waters of Burns Bay, Carisbrook is Sydney's only house museum to capture the middle-class lifestyle of the Victorian era.
The house at 334 Burns Bay Road is owned by the Lane Cove Council with curatorship under the Lane Cove Historical Society Inc.

Conservation Management Plan
The Conservation Management Plan for Carisbrook House includes:
• Research and a study of the built fabric to understand its cultural significance
• Opportunities and constraints on the treatment and use of the house museum
• A clear set of policies to guide the future care of the place
This project has been proudly funded by the NSW Government under the 2021-2023 NSW Heritage Grants – Caring for State Heritage in conjunction with Lane Cove Council.
The Plan will also be available to view on site at Carisbrook House.
