The house occupied the flat area near the centre of the picture. As a result of creating a level space on a slope, there are embankments on three sides; the one to the south of the house can be seen on the left, with trees at the top. The present view is from the embankment to the east of the house; hence the drop in level just a few metres ahead.

That feature can be seen at the back in a view in the opposite direction: NS4760 : The former site of Glen House. On the remaining side (the north) of the house, down the slope, the ground falls away in terraces: NS4760 : Terraces in front of the site of Glen House.
