Glanton Pike

Glanton Pike is a country house built around 1780 for John Mills, with rear wings likely added during alterations and extensions by John Dobson in 1829 for Henry Collingwood. The south front features tooled ashlar stone, while the returns and wings are made of squared stone with ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate, except for the north-east wing, which has Scottish slates.

The south front is two storeys high with five symmetrical bays. It has a plinth, rusticated quoins, a moulded eaves cornice, and a blocking course. There are three steps leading up to the central glazed double doors, which are framed by a lugged architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a pediment. The ground floor has 8-pane sash windows, while the first floor features 6-pane sashes, all within architraves. The hipped roof is topped with two stepped-and-corniced ridge stacks. The entrance front on the east side is similar but includes a mid-19th century central porch with plain square piers and pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The doorway has old half-glazed double doors and a 4-pane overlight. The lower windows here are 12-pane sashes, with some renewed on the left side. The single-storey north-east wing on the far right has a 12-pane sash and a stepped-and-banded ridge stack.

The west elevation features a three-bay section from the 18th century, with similar details to the south front. To the left, the north-west wing is two storeys plus attics and has three bays. It includes various sash windows on the lower floors, two segment-headed dormers with 8-pane Yorkshire sashes, and a 2-pane casement. The gables are coped, with a stepped-and-banded right end and two ridge stacks. The north elevation shows similar architectural treatment and features a gable bellcote with a pointed opening on the west wing.

Inside, the house has fielded-panel doors and reveals, along with folding panelled shutters. The drawing room is adorned with an anthemion and Greek key cornice, while the sitting room features an egg-and-dart cornice and a panelled fireplace with old ironwork. The billiard room also has an egg-and-dart cornice. The dog-leg staircase is fitted with stick balusters and a moulded handrail.
