Appraisal
A farmhouse representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century built heritage of Glenmore with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition suggested by such attributes as the rectilinear lobby entry plan form; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the widely spaced openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression; and the high pitched roof. Having been well maintained, the form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of the composition. Furthermore, adjacent "tin roofed" outbuildings (----) continue to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene.
