Glen Cottage

Glen Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-18th century, mid-19th century, and mid-20th century. The building features part timber framing with painted brick infill, refacing, and replacement walling, as well as part sandstone with painted and rendered brick additions. It has plain tiled roofs with moulded bargeboards and pendant finials, along with a parapet and stack at the east gable end. The structure likely consists of two framed bays aligned east to west, with a rebuilt large chimney and a rear stack at the original west end, and later additions at each end. There are also three north wings that form the current entrance front. The house is two storeys high, with single storey and attic north wings. The 18th-century walling features a two-course band between the storeys.

On the south elevation, some wall framing remains, with four panels extending from the sill to the wall plate, but mainly only two rows of panels at the first floor level, supported by short straight lower corner braces. The north front elevation is characterized by three gable ends of the north wings, with the left gable end set back from the central and right gable ends. The ground floor includes a 16-pane sash window and a 12-pane sash window, both with cambered heads, while the attic level has a 6-pane sash, an 8-pane sash, and a 9-pane sash, with the 8-pane and 9-pane sashes also featuring cambered heads. The main entrance is located in the left gable end and has a lean-to porch from the 20th century, along with a 6-panelled door, the upper panels of which are glazed. Inside, some wall framing is visible, along with original sandstone walling that is about 18 inches thick, possibly once part of an out-building. The roof of the original section retains two collar and tie-beam trusses, purlins, and a large swept windbrace.
