Appraisal
Glasdrumman House is a symmetrically-designed farmhouse which has retained its original fenestration to the rendered façade. Though ruined, its outbuildings continue to contribute to the setting. The sweeping rendered wall to the rear yard, which is enhanced by pointed-arched niches and door opening, is of an appealing design.
