Glendore (West End Garage)

Glendore, originally a house from the early 19th century, was extended in the late 19th century and has been used as a petrol filling station since 1919. The building has an L-shaped plan, featuring a main front range with two rooms, each having gable-end fireplaces and a central entrance passage. Behind the left room is a later 19th-century wing that includes stables and an outshut.

Constructed from stone rubble, the front is faced with red brick in Flemish stretcher bond, and it has a concrete tile roof with gabled ends and brick gable end stacks. The exterior is two storeys high, with a symmetrical north-west front, except for a later 19th-century four-pane sash window on the ground floor to the right. The ground floor features small early 19th-century two-light windows with metal casements, a cambered arch over the ground floor windows, and a round arch with Y-glazing bars over the first-floor centre window. The central doorway has a flush panel door with reeding, inscribed oval centre panels, and a very small overlight, along with a later simple wooden open porch. The front elevation also displays two early 20th-century enamelled advertisements for Raleigh Bicycles and Castrol. The rear elevation has a gable-ended wing on the right with a three-light window and a plank door on the inner side, and an outshut on the left with a raised corrugated iron lean-to roof.

Inside, most of the original joinery remains, including panelled doors and cupboards. The parlour on the right features roughly chamfered cross-beams and a later 19th-century cast-iron chimneypiece, while the kitchen on the left has a 20th-century range.

In the front garden, behind a low brick boundary wall along the pavement and road, and screened by a mature arched yew hedge, are two petrol pumps: one is a Wayne from the 1950s and the other is an Avery-Hardoll, likely from the 1930s.
