Including Boundary Walls, Glover House (Formerly Known As Braehead), 79 Balgownie Road

This is an early 19th-century house, extended between 1838 and 1855, with further additions in 1862 that included the addition of a first floor. It is a rectangular, two-storey building with single-storey projecting sections and a basement to the rear. The exterior is constructed of a mix of random and squared granite rubble, squared coursed granite with some pinnings, and harling. The south elevation features a base course, a band course separating the ground and first floors, and an eaves band. Smooth margins highlight the quoins and windows.

The south elevation has three bays and is two-storeys high. A gabled, harled porch with a stepped entrance and a pair of timber and glazed doors is centrally placed. The east elevation is irregular and also four bays. A single-storey, single-bay harled projection stands at the centre, and a timber and glazed quadrant porch is located in the re-entrant angle on the left. A blocked window is visible on the far left of the ground floor, and there is no window in the far left bay of the first floor. The west elevation has an advanced, three-bay, single-storey and basement section on the left, with steps leading to the sunken basement area. A timber panelled door with a three-light fanlight is centrally located in the basement. To the right of this is an irregular, recessed, three-bay, two-storey section with a timber panelled door and a three-light fanlight on the left. The north elevation is continuous with a boundary wall; a single-storey section with two windows sits to the right, while a blank two-storey section is on the left, featuring several courses of brick between the ground and first floors.

The windows are replacement 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The two-storey sections have piended roofs, while the single-storey sections have pitched roofs, with overhanging eaves. Coped granite wallhead stacks are present on the east, west, and two sections of the north elevation; the stack on the right of the north elevation is partly constructed of brick, topped with circular cans. Rainwater goods are predominantly aluminium. Cast iron, spearheaded railings edge the basement area.

The interior features a timber and leaded glazed front door, with a large hall divided by a segmental arch. Simple cornicing and a variety of doorpieces, including pilastered and corniced styles, are found throughout the house. The original dining room retains a classical slate chimneypiece, while the remaining chimneypieces are not original to the building. A quarter-turn open well stair has turned newels and balusters. The basement contains a kitchen, a coal cellar, and a wine cellar.
