  GLENDALOUGH - Physical Description 1
  
  Red brick bungalow in form, but considerably improvised from both the typical Bungalow seen elsewhere in Travancore and the original permit application drawings. Typically gabled, with Marseilles tile roofs shingling and heavy verandah piers but atypically equipped with a bazaar round chimney, an exotic lunette and is in near original condition. Overgrown but atmospheric, the garden retains early planting and is encased by a distinctive stuccoed fence sculptured in an ox-bow profile. The intact gateway is a bonus (refer also to 512 Racecourse Road).
