Description
Plas y Glyn is a large farmhouse built in the 18th century, featuring a traditional Georgian layout with distinctive Gothic details. The building is two stories high with attics and has a three-window front, along with a service wing at the back that forms a T-shaped plan. To the right (north) is a single-storey gabled outhouse. The farmhouse is constructed from roughly dressed stone laid in courses, with a plinth on the front elevation, while the rear and side elevations are covered in pebbledash render. The slate roof is laid in diminishing courses and has stone copings, along with tall rendered rectangular gable stacks topped with capping.
The main elevation faces east and features a three-window arrangement with a central entrance accessed through a gabled porch. This porch includes a plinth and a projecting string course, with a hood mould over a four-centred archway that displays a datestone and emblem at the top. The inner door is half-glazed and has an overlight with lozenge glazing. The flanking windows are 12-pane sashes, also with lozenge glazing in the upper sections. The first floor has mullioned and transomed windows with two and three lights, featuring similar lozenge glazing. The attic storey has two broad gables and a smaller central gabled dormer, each with a small paned window that also has lozenge glazing. All windows are adorned with drop-ended hood moulds.
The other elevations of the house are pebbledash rendered, with the rear featuring modern windows and doors. The gabled outbuilding to the right (north) is made of rubble masonry, with its rear wall rendered. On the right return, there are two windows, each with small panes in the upper light above a single paned fixed light below, and the lower lights have dentilled edges at the top and bottom. There is also a single boarded door at the rear.
