Walls flanking the W approach to the courtyard of Glasfryn, including Glasfryn-uchaf

The northern walled courtyard of Glasfryn House is accessed from the west via a walled ramp that leads through a wide carriage arch into the yard. The wall continues along the south side of the narrow approach, standing approximately 3.3 meters high as a garden wall. At the western end, it slopes down and turns into a garden retaining wall made of large boulders with smaller stones in between, supporting a raised flower bed. To the south, the retaining wall has steps that rise to low gate piers, providing access to the southern gardens.

Glasfryn-uchaf is located to the north of the ramped entrance and its gable end is part of the walled courtyard. This building is a 20th-century conversion of an outbuilding, constructed with rubble stonework and topped with a slate roof. The southern face features five 20th-century small paned timber windows, two of which have replaced former doors. The eastern gable, which is part of the courtyard wall, includes a small gabled bellcote for summoning estate staff. There is one chimney stack. The single-storey accommodation of the cottage extends by one bay at the northeast end and has a half-glazed door in the re-entrant angle.
