The former railway station at Glenfarne is undergoing extensive works to convert it into a house with a major addition to the small railway building. Many fine features enhanced the original three-bay station including the tooled stone work, iron door furniture, decorative cast-iron downpipes and decorative bargeboards while the architectural form of the building is typical of railway stations in the area. This former railway station forms part of a group with the surviving railway-related structures to the site.
