Glendon, dating from c1812, is a stately Regency mansion faced in course-lined stucco. Built for a Newfoundland trader, the house was owned in the latter half of the century by Major General Powlett Lane, of the Bengal Cavalry and HM 21st Hussars. Glendon comprises a small estate of 21 acres, with extensive landscaped gardens, walled kitchen garden, and paddocks. The house itself comprises the original two-storey house with low-pitched hipped slate roof and a three-storey side extension built in a classical matching style around 1850 but with a parapet. The estate forms the core of the Brog Street Conservation Area.
