Description
The Glen Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that has been divided into two cottages and is now a single house. It was extended and converted into two cottages in the mid-19th century, with later additions and alterations. The building features painted roughly coursed slate-stone with painted brick dressings on the 19th-century part and has a slate roof with ceramic cresting to the left of the ridge stack.
The original 18th-century house has been extended to the right in the 19th century, with the right part slightly projecting. The farmhouse is two storeys high. The 19th-century part has multi-paned casement windows directly below the eaves, with two windows in each section. The ground floor of the 18th-century part includes a half-glazed door under a lean-to hood on the left, a horned glazing bar sash window in the centre, and a mid-20th-century metal casement window where a doorway has been infilled on the right. The latter two openings have voussoirs and projecting keystones above their segmental heads. The 19th-century part features a four-panel door (with the top panels glazed) on the left and a 19th-century casement window on the right.
There is a prominent ridge stack, which was formerly an end stack, at the junction between the two sections, along with a stepped external end stack to the right. Attached to the left gable end is a three-bay cowhouse. Inside, the house retains several panelled and plank doors, and the right room on both floors has inset wall cupboards with carved curved shelves on the right wall.
