Description
Glenmore Farm Steading is an earlier 19th-century building that has undergone later alterations and may include some 18th-century materials. It features a courtyard plan and a piend roof, consisting of a two-storey, 15-bay front range that is nearly symmetrical. The central three-bay gable is advanced and contains an arched pend, flanked by slightly advanced two-bay piend-roofed end pavilions. The main range has regular fenestration, with large windows on the front and courtyard sides, and three blocked archways that were once vehicle sheds. There are very tall slit windows, now blocked, on the northeast range, while other areas have little or irregular fenestration, including some later vehicle entrances. At the apex of the entrance gable, there is a gabletted bellcote.
Inside, a hayloft was added on the second storey to the left of the west range in the late 20th century. The southwest corner has been converted into flats in the early 20th century. The open timber roof structures are visible in the hayloft and the single-storey ranges, with some cattle byres remaining in their original condition.
The building is constructed of random rubble with tooled dressings and is roofed with graded grey slate. It has a single broad stack with yellow clay cans on the south elevation.
