Description
Glyn Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of rough rendered stone and features a gable-ended roof that has been reclad in asbestos tiles, along with gable-end stacks that have brick shafts. The building has a two-room plan facing south, with a larger room on the right (east) that includes a gable-end stack and a stair turret on the rear (north) wall. The smaller left (west) room also has a gable-end stack. There are entrances at the front and back that lead directly into the right (east) room. An outbuilding, dating from the late 18th or 19th century, is attached to the front of the west room and is now part of the house. The farmhouse has a 20th-century conservatory on the south front and a 20th-century porch at the rear, adjacent to the stair turret.
The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys with an attic and features an asymmetrical south front. The central doorway is flanked by 20th-century casement windows on both the ground and first floors to the right. To the left, there is a one-storey and attic gable-ended wing. The rear (north) side includes a large full-height gabled stair turret on the left, small two-light windows, and a 20th-century wooden porch at the centre where it meets the stair turret. The lower east gable end has an oven bulge on the right and a small two-light wooden window with leaded panes.
Inside, the ground and first floor rooms have chamfered ceiling beams with cyma stops and blocked fireplaces, with the ground floor east room featuring an oven. There is one old plank door, while the others have been replaced. The roof is a three-bay structure with principal rafters that have high collars and trenched purlins; there is one purlin at the front and two at the back due to the stair leading to the attic. The right-hand (east) truss is closed.
