Glanmor House

Glanmor House is a house dating to approximately 1862, built for Harvey and Company for their transport manager. The walls are stuccoed, with hipped roofs covered in grouted scantle slate, featuring a central valley and linking across the garden front. There are projecting eaves with cast iron ogee gutters, and chamfered stucco chimney shafts are located at the rear left, over the right-hand wall, over the cross wall of the lower service wing to the right, and towards the rear, far right.

The house follows an unaltered double-depth plan, with a two-room-wide reception area on the left and a shallower two-room-wide service area on the right. The main house features a central hallway leading to a stair hall and an axial passage behind the right-hand room; two linked reception rooms face the garden front to the left, and another reception room is situated behind the axial passage. There are two-storey bay windows to the garden front and at the rear right. A large bay window/conservatory is located at the rear left, and a later lean-to conservatory has been added to the service end at the rear.

The design is in a classical style. The exterior features a plinth, giant engaged panelled corner pilaster, rusticated courses to the ground floor, a vermiculated first floor band under the sills, moulded sills, moulded architraves, a panelled frieze under the eaves cornice. Original hornless sash windows with plate glass are found in the main house, while the service wing has original hornless sashes with glazing bars.

The symmetrical three-window entrance front is accompanied by a lower three-window service wing set back on the right. The original porch is of Tuscan distyle in antae form, with round-headed windows between the square columns and a central doorway housing the original door and overlight. The entablature incorporates moulded brackets to the cornice, and an ornate parapet with pierced balustrade sits above. The two-bay garden front features two-storey canted bay windows with pilaster mullions and round arch lights to the ground floor, and moulded brackets under the first-floor sills, with further moulded cornices to the windows above. The rear elevation displays similar details: including a two-storey bay window to the left and a large canted five-light bay with pilaster mullions and an entablature on the right. The service wing has a wide mid-floor band and moulded architraves to the windows.

The interior remains complete, showcasing a cast-iron stair balustrade made by Harvey and Company, original doors, architraves, door furniture, chimney-pieces, and fine plasterwork ceilings, possibly maintaining the original colour scheme, repainted in the early 20th century.
