Description

Glengyle is a 2-storey, 5-bay Freestyle house built in 1910, featuring crenellated and ogee-roofed corner towers. The design incorporates Arts and Crafts elements, with harled walls contrasted by droved ashlar margins. The house has semicircular-pedimented dormerheads and stone mullions.

On the west elevation, there is a slightly advanced crenellated tower to the right, which includes bipartite windows on each floor. To the left, a rounded bay has regular fenestration on each floor. An advanced polygonal bay is located on the outer left, with tripartite windows on both floors, leading to a deep cornice and a leaded, finialled ogee roof. There is a window to the right and a door beyond, featuring a blind tablet above. Above, two stone-pedimented windows break the eaves into the dormerheads.

The east elevation features a broad open slated porch on the outer right, supported by two columns on a low wall, leading to a deep-set 5-panelled timber door. To the left, there is an advanced piended bay with three windows on the ground floor and a piended window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead above. A catslide roof returns to the right with a lean-to extension below. The set-back face has two closely-aligned small windows on the ground right, with a reducing tripartite window above that abuts the eaves, and a small flat-roofed 3-light dormer in the centre.

On the north elevation, there is a slate-roofed single-storey bay with a bipartite window to the right and a polygonal roof on the outer right. The porch is located on the outer left, with a centre bay above that has a set-back piend-roofed dormer breaking into the lower roof.

The south elevation has a blank crenellated bay to the left, a window at the centre on the ground floor with a pedimented dormer above, and another window to the right.

The windows are timber sash and case with a plate glass glazing pattern, and the timber-mullioned tripartite dormer on the east has 4-pane fixed glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates and features terracotta ridge tiles and finials. The chimney stacks are made of banded ashlar with cavetto coping and some cans, and the roof has deeply overhanging eaves.

The property is enclosed by a coped rubble boundary wall, which includes flat-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers with 'GLENGYLE' carved into the frieze, and ironwork gates.
