Description

2 Glenoe Village is a two-level gabled house of rendered stone with a gabled block of outbuildings standing to its north, located on a corner site on the east side of the main street in the village.

The main house has its entrance facing east. The east elevation comprises a two-storey portion to the left, containing one window to the first floor and one window and doorway to the ground floor, with a single-storey portion extending to the right for two windows. Windows in the two-storey portion are rectangular metal fixed lights with top-hung vents and recessed cills. Windows to the right wing are of similar form and pattern but of timber. The walling is dry dash render using limestone chippings above a smooth cement rendered plinth. The roofs are of Bangor Blue slates in regular courses with flush verges, though the upper courses of the two-storey portion appear to be asbestos slates. Dark-toned ridge tiles are fitted. The building has PVC gutters and downpipes. The door is a modern rectangular PVC unit, panelled and glazed.

The south elevation comprises the blank south gable of similar walling to the entrance front, with a red brick chimney to the apex and a red brick string course. A TV aerial is attached to the right-hand side.

The west elevation comprises a two-storey portion to the right, with one window in each floor, and a single-storey wing extending to the left for two windows. All windows are timber as per the entrance front, with smooth cement rendered reveals. At the right-hand end of the single-storey wing is a red painted metal Post Office letterbox set into the wall, inscribed 'VR' and 'W.T. Allen & Co London'. The walling is as the entrance front, with the addition of a projecting stone eaves course to the two-storey block and light timber lath affixed to each block below the gutter brackets. PVC gutters are fitted with a short linking PVC downpipe to the two-storey portion and a metal downpipe to the single-storey wing. A wooden palisade extends to the left of the west elevation and connects with the gabled outbuildings to the west.

The north elevation is the blank north gable of the wing, dry dashed as previously, except for a rectangular panel of smooth cement render in the centre which is bowed out slightly. Beyond is the smooth cement rendered north gable of the taller two-storey block.

The outbuildings comprise a gabled two-storey block with a gabled smaller and lower block connected to its north gable. The main entrance of the outbuildings faces east, away from the road. The east elevation of the outbuildings has a roof of Bangor Blue slates in regular courses and a metal gutter and broken downpipe to the two-storey block. The walls are of rubble greystone and white limestone, rebuilt in places with concrete blockwork. There are rectangular timber windows in poor condition, a ledged timber door to the upper floor of the two-storey block, and a modern flush timber door with glazed panel to the ground floor, all in poor condition. A rectangular ledged timber door in poor condition serves the single-storey block, with a rectangular door opening to an upper level now blocked by concrete blocks and red brickwork. A small low-level rectangular window is set in a deeply recessed stone surround including a stone lintel.

The south elevation of the outbuildings is a plain south gable of rubble stone, whitened. The west elevation is rubble stone, whitened, with a roof slated as previously and metal rainwater goods in poor condition. There is one window in the ground floor of the two-storey block, a rectangular timber two-pane unit, top-hung, with splayed rendered cill. Two blocked-up windows and a blocked-up doorway serve the ground floor, and four blocked-up windows the upper floor of the two-storey block. One blocked-up window serves the lower block. Extending to the left, to the north, and set back slightly, is a low basalt rubble parapet of a slightly humped-back bridge to the north. The north elevation is the plain north gable of similar walling, with a gutter returning from the front elevation at the right-hand side and a rusted metal downpipe.

The house stands on a corner site with its entrance originally facing directly on to the street but now facing away from it. Its south gable also faces directly on to a side road, without a pavement. To the east of the house is a concrete path and a gravelled area with shrubs, bounded to the south by a whitened rubble wall with large basalt boulder copings. Abutting the south gable to the right-hand side is a pair of low square gate piers in smooth cement render with a small wooden gate.

The outbuildings stand in a field of long grass with a stone bridge to the north. Standing in the field to the east of the house is a small detached single pig-house of rubble stone, gabled, with a roof of Bangor Blue slates in regular courses and dark-toned ridge tiles impressed with a shield motif inscribed 'C. Davison & Co. Buckley. Flintshire'. It has one small rectangular opening in its front wall which faces into a small open forecourt bounded by basalt rubble walls with rough limestone copings.
