Description
Glen View is a house built in the early 19th century. It features thin courses of squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins at the rear, topped by a stone-flagged roof with a stone ridge. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance consists of a boarded door with a margined overlight, which is sheltered by an elliptical-headed iron hood supported by lattice side panels. The windows are sashes with glazing bars; the ones flanking the door are curved in plan, while the first-floor windows have flat stone lintels and sills. The outer first-floor sashes have been renewed. There is a square stone chimney at the left end, which has a top string. The right return features a similar sash window towards the front on the ground floor. At the rear, there is a one-storey pent outshut, and a 20th-century addition that is not of interest.
