Description

Glenburn Hall is a large, symmetrical classical house dating to around 1815. It is a two-storey and attic building with a raised basement. The exterior is built of cream sandstone ashlar, with rusticated pilaster quoins, base and cill courses, an eaves cornice topped with a balustrade and corner ball finials. The windows have moulded architraves, with a frieze and cornice to those on the ground floor. The basement is constructed of coursed whinstone with cream ashlar dressings.

The front (northeast) elevation features three bays, with the central bay slightly projected and topped by a parapet containing a blank panel. A Roman Doric, distyle, corniced and balustraded porch shelters a central staircase; the staircase has a broader lower tread and sweeping cast-iron railings supported on a whinstone wall projecting over the basement recess. The door is flush-panelled, with four-pane sidelights and a decorative fanlight. A tripartite window sits above the door, topped with a classically moulded hoodmould. Dormer windows are positioned over each bay.

The side elevations (northwest and southeast) demonstrate three closely grouped bays with detailing similar to the front elevation. The rear (southwest) elevation also has three bays, but a piended and flat-roofed later addition of basement services projects into the area, stopping at a retaining wall to the southwest. Dormers have been altered on the left side, and a skylight is centrally located. Timber sash and case windows with 12 panes are present throughout, with 4-pane windows in the dormers. The roof is piended and has rendered stacks with octagonal cans. Cast-iron downpipes are also present.

Inside, a lobby leads to an inner, top-lit staircase hall featuring delicate neo-Classical plasterwork. The north-facing Dining Room includes a sideboard recess framed by Corinthian pilasters and a cornice, and a Doric chimney-piece.

To the south of the house is a large rectangular walled garden enclosed by ashlar-coped rubble walls approximately two metres high. An entrance is situated in the north wall, near a gabled greenhouse. A piend-roofed garage occupies the northwest corner, with an open end facing northwest, and further outbuildings are present to the south.

To the west, square ashlar gate piers with ball finials support a wrought iron gate, leading to stables.
