Description
Glenfield House is a former mine manager's house and office, now functioning as a farmhouse, built around 1875 and altered since. It is constructed from red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a compact, T-shaped layout with a two-storey main house and a one-storey side wing that served as the former office.
The roadside front shows the side wing to the left, which includes a later bay window and an altered ridge stack. The gable of the main house, set forward on the right, has a later casement window beneath a shouldered lintel, originally a two-light window. There are also two narrow sash windows on the first floor, both with shouldered heads. An open-sided wooden porch is located at the angle with the lower side wing on the right, featuring decorative bracing and a hipped roof, along with two-colour floor tiles inside and a chevron-panelled door in a chamfered surround. The crosswing has a ridge stack with four rounded flues.
At the rear, there are three shouldered windows below an oriel bay window supported on shaped brackets. The office wing contains a part-glazed door with an overlight in a shouldered opening, and a two-light mullioned window on the right. Glenfield House is part of the iron-ore mine group built to serve Stank No.2 pit.
