Glen House

Glen House is a house built in 1779, with minor alterations made in the 1930s. It features brown brick in Flemish bond, with a rendered section below the ground-floor sill level and a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a two-room central entrance hall at the front and a single-room wing to the rear left. It stands two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays, with the central bay projecting forward.

The entrance is accessed via a stone step leading to a pedimented doorcase, which is flanked by slim ribbed pilasters that support dosserets with a moulded cornice and a moulded pediment. Above the recessed six-panel door, which has four fielded panels over flush panels, is a deep overlight featuring geometric glazing. On either side of the entrance, there are flat-roofed canted bay windows that extend three-quarters of the way up, each fitted with 20th-century plate-glass sashes in original wooden surrounds, complete with sills, architraves, and moulded cornices. The first floor has a narrow central sash window, also with a 20th-century plate-glass sash, set within its original opening and featuring a flush wooden architrave and sill beneath a stucco flat arch. The eaves are plain wooden boards, and there is a bracketed corniced wooden gutter. The stone-coped gables are adorned with shaped kneelers, and there are corniced end stacks. A rainwater head on the left gable bears the inscription "V J S 1779."

Inside, the hall features a fine open-well cantilevered staircase with a ramped and wreathed corniced handrail, slender drop-on-vase balusters with square knops, a clustered foot newel, and profiled cheek-pieces. The upper hall ceiling has a moulded cornice and frieze, decorated with a plasterwork fan motif, while the lower hall ceiling also has a moulded cornice and ribbed frieze. The ground-floor front rooms are fitted with moulded cornices, ribbed friezes, and boxed-in spine beams on the ceilings, along with basket-arched alcoves flanking the chimneys. Additional interior features include moulded skirting, fielded-panel window reveals, and six-fielded-panel doors, some of which have H and L hinges, all set within ovolo-moulded architraves.
