It has a double front facing south, with two 12-pane sash windows on each floor and a central four-panel door that is topped with a hood supported by brackets. There is also a 12-pane sash window on each floor of the west wall. The Glen is prominently located at the junction of Devizes Road and High Street and is listed for its group value.
