Hall, The Glen

The Glen is a single-storey, 7-bay estate hall built around 1854 by the masons and joiners of the Glen Estate for Sir Charles Tennant. This rectangular-plan building, which was formerly part of a farm steading range, features coursed and random whinstone rubble with broached sandstone ashlar quoins. The skew gabled roof is finished with plain putts.

On the southeast (principal) elevation, the hall has a regularly arranged 7-bay façade. The central bay has been altered to include a timber boarded door, which has a 4-pane glazed section at the top, and is flanked by vertically placed 2-pane lights. There are three windows with ashlar dressings on either side of the door. To the far right of this elevation, there is a large stone that protects the lower angle from carts and later vehicles.

The southwest and northeast elevations have blind rubble gable ends that rise into squared ashlar stacks, which feature projecting neck copes and single cans. The northwest (rear) elevation has a single-storey blind wallhead on the left, while the right side has a much higher gable that indicates where the now truncated arm of the steading once joined. This gable shows remnants of previous internal finishes, including harl and whitewash.

The roof is pitched with slate and includes lead ridging and flashing. The rear has a piended slate roof that marks the junction of the former range, with a later catslide roofed ventilator to the right. The stone skews are plain with shaped putts. The principal elevation has painted cast-iron rainwater goods, while the rear gable features overshot flashing instead of gutters. There are two squared sandstone ashlar gablehead stacks with projecting courses leading to neck copes, each topped with a single can.

Inside, the hall was originally used as stores or farm bothies but has been renovated for use as a community hall.
