Glasses Farmhouse

Glasses Farmhouse is a farmhouse with an attached outbuilding, dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and early 20th century. The building features roughcast over random rubble and has a thatched roof. There is an external roughcast stack on the left gable end, rendered stacks in the second bay to the left, a right gable end at the junction with the outbuilding, and a lateral stack to the left of the entrance. The farmhouse is arranged in an L-plan, lying roughly north-south, with the outbuilding attached at the southwest corner. Its evolution is not entirely clear, but it may have originally been an open hall house that has been ceiled and enlarged to the north with a stair turret and an unidentified projection on the east front flanking the entrance with a porch.

On the west front, the building has two storeys and is composed of four bays on the left and two bays on the right, featuring early to late 20th-century fenestration. The ground floor has two bays on the left marked by a single-storey L-plan addition, with the bay wider to the left of the lateral stack. There is a pentice porch on the right and a canted bay with a slate roof projecting to the right. The gable end of the four-bay outbuilding has a ranking buttress on the left return.

The east front includes an oriel window above the porch, flanked by a stair turret on the right with a two-light casement and a projection on the left with small lancets. In the third bay on the right, there is another projection with lancets. Inside, there is a nine-panel compartment ceiling to the right of the cross passage, with three pairs of jointed cruck trusses on the first floor. To the left of the cross passage, there are steeply chamfered beams with spade stops on the ground floor and chamfered scantling joists with step and run-out stops on the first floor, along with newel stairs rising opposite the lateral stack.
