Swimming Pool, The Glen

The Glen swimming pool, dating to circa 1854, has undergone alterations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a change of use in the mid-20th century. Built in a Scottish Baronial style, it comprises an L-shaped wall with an arching arm topped with a ball finial, a turret to the north, and a pair of adjoining single-storey, square-plan changing rooms to the west featuring a crow-stepped pediment. A terrace wall runs along the southeast; all elements enclose a teardrop-shaped swimming pool with a circular plunge pool at its northern end.

The walls are harled with plain ashlar coping and ball finials on stalks. The changing rooms are similarly styled with chamfered ashlar dressings, and feature an ashlar conical tower with a moulded eaves course. The southwest-facing elevation (pool side) has a harled wing wall with turfed copes, a small entrance leading to a path, and a tall statue of a kilted Highlander. A paved area, with flowerbeds, surrounds the pool. The pool's interior has a royal and pale blue mosaic tiled band below a flat, overhanging coping, while the exterior walls are harled with ashlar and a stepped entrance.

The northwest-facing elevation showcases the changing rooms with pairs of angled walls and timber-boarded doors (studded with large decorative hinges) rising to a crow-stepped pediment topped with a large thistle finial, and ball finials to the outer angles. A return section of the changing room features paired windows. To the right is a ball finialled wall concealing a conical Lorimeresque angle tower, featuring a front and rear door, and a slit window overlooking a flight of ashlar steps to the rear of an adjacent coach house.

The northeast-facing (rear/stable yard) elevation has a tall wall, incorporating the rear wall of a former glasshouse range and incorporating the crow-stepped gable end of a coach house with a small window and adjoining angle tower. The remaining wall is largely blind, with steps leading to a door in the return of a stable clock pend, which has a gabled dormer.

The southeast elevation consists of a small harled terrace wall with flat stone copes, overlooking Lion gates that lead into the garden.

Later 20th-century plate glass glazing is set in timber frames within the changing rooms. A glazed slit window is present on the north side of the tower. The tower has a conical fish-scale slate roof terminating in a spiked lead finial, and the changing rooms have flat roofs. Rainwater goods are absent.
