Building
Glenard Farm is a symmetrically planned Queen Anne style house with a hipped, corrugated iron roof encompassing a verandah on three sides. The verandah is supported on turned timber posts, and the brick chimneys have terracotta chimney pots. Alterations include the painting of the original red brickwork, replacement of the original windows and the removal of the timber verandah frieze.
Landscape
The garden is quite large, and predates the surrounding Glenard Estate. However much of the garden is reasonably contemporary, and only a few remnant trees are likely to be associated with the early history of the site. The most prominent of these is the row of Golden Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa 'Aurea') along the Glenard Drive frontage. The basalt retaining wall was introduced at the time of subdivision, c. 1916. Other notable trees include two Lombardy Poplar (Populus nigra 'Italica') planted close to the house on the northern side, an Elm (Ulmus procera) to the north, and a Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus deodara) and Blue Atlantic Cedar (Cedrus atlantica var. glauca) to the east of the property. An old corrugated iron shed is located to the south of the house.The remnant trees have significance as they reflect the pre-subdivision history of the site, and present the house with contemporary elements from its early period. The Golden Cypress particularly have considerable landscape value, contributing to Griffin's ideal of private roadside plantings billowing over into the broader landscape, which can be seen along this section of Glenard Drive.

GLENARD FARM delete - Historical Australian Themes
Ivanhoe and Heidelberg went through a period of rapid expansion after the extension of the railway in 1901. The house at 40 Glenard Drive is one of the larger early 20th century buildings erected in the area. It was built for important local property developer Peter Keam, responsible for the Mount Eagle and Glenard subdivisions in Heidelberg.
