Description

Glenton House is a house from the early to mid-19th century located in Little Neston Village. It is built of coursed dressed red sandstone and features a slate roof with red terracotta ridge and gable end stacks topped with 19th-century pots. The house has a central entry plan with a rear service wing.

The exterior is two stories high with a three-bay front set on a plain plinth. A central porch supported by Tuscan columns and a simplified entablature leads to a door made up of eight raised and fielded panels, topped with a radial glazed overlight in a Tuscan doorcase. The ground and first floors have large recessed 8/8 sash windows with stone sills and lintels. There is a raised band at the first floor level and an ovolo moulded eaves cornice. The rear of the main block and the rear wing have smaller sash windows.

Inside, the main rooms feature six-panel doors, while the kitchen area has four-panel doors. The interior also includes panelled window shutters, dado rails, and simple moulded plaster cornices. This house has undergone very little alteration over the years.
