Description
Glyn House is a building from 1859, designed by architect Henry Duesbary. It is constructed of pink brick with slate roofs, except for the tower, which features red fishscale tiles. The house has tall, corniced brick stacks and consists of two storeys and a basement with an area. Notable architectural features include a moulded string, an angle buttress topped by an octagonal crenellated pinnacle with an ogival cap at the left corner, and two ranges of sash windows with glazing bars on the left side, which have hoodmoulds over the ground floor windows. The first-floor gables are slightly corbelled out.
The central part of the house features a three-storey tower with a tent roof and wooden finial, along with one range of sash windows with glazing bars. There is a porch, dated 1905 on the rainwater head, which has a flight of ashlar steps leading to the doorway. The porch is supported by moulded brick Ionic three-quarter columns and features a full entablature with a pulvinated frieze and modillions, which has a double curve, topped by a terracotta cartouche.
To the right, there is a single canted bay that projects out, with sash windows and hoodmoulds on the first storey and angle buttresses on the ground floor. The roof also has a wooden finial. An early 20th-century extension to the west has two storeys, a hipped slate roof with a projecting wooden eaves cornice featuring modillions, and a segmental bow on the garden front, with sash windows that have glazing bars.
