Glassenbury Park House

Glassenbury Park House is a country house set within a landscaped park and surrounded by a moat. It dates back to the late 15th century, with the front block constructed around 1730-1740. The house was remodeled between 1877 and 1879 by Anthony Salvia for the Roberts family, and the main front was largely rebuilt after 1951.

The south front features red brick with sandstone quoins, window sills, and an eaves parapet. It has a plain tiled roof with gable parapets and kneelers, tall projecting gable stacks with over-sailing cornices, and a banded central stack behind the main ridge. The facade has a slight central five-bay projection, with quoins supporting a very wide open pediment that includes an oculus. The two-bay wings have windows that are more widely spaced. The house is two storeys high with a symmetrical nine-bay front, featuring glazing bar sashes. A central projecting porch has an arched entrance with side openings and half columns flanking the doorway, which contains a panelled door.

At the rear, there are large irregular wings, mostly two storeys with attics, featuring buttresses and stone-dressed mullioned windows. Inside, the hall has panelling dated 1571, which was likely moved from another location. There is a three-flight open well staircase located to the left at the rear of the hall. The study includes salvaged panelling and a Jacobean columned fireplace. Historical records suggest that the original house was built around 1473. The moat surrounding the house has dressed stone walls and features a single-span arched bridge with solid parapets to the south, along with a secondary bridge to the east.
