Description
Glyn Malden is a two and a half storey house built from coursed rubble masonry. It features a steeply pitched slate roof with raking gable copings on kneelers and an eaves band supported by stone corbels. There is a truncated stack on the right side of the building.
The house has gabled stone dormers with raking gable copings and dove boxes, along with two-light casement windows. On the first floor, there are twelve-pane sash windows with stone lintels. The ground floor has later broad tripartite sash windows, consisting of a fifteen-pane centre sash flanked by ten-pane side sashes, with rendered lintels. The central gabled stone porch has raking gable copings and features the original door, with twelve-pane fixed light windows on either side. Stone voussoirs are present over the inner door, which has a modern door installed.
The north gable end has a tier of windows on the right, with a two-light casement above twelve-pane sashes, which are broader on the ground floor. There are similar blocked windows on the left. A two-storey rear range has a rubble slate roof with gable copings and an end stack raised in brick. It features sixteen-pane sashes set under the eaves and a twenty-pane sash on the ground floor.
The south gable end includes a two-light casement over a twelve-pane sash, with a former doorway to a Victorian conservatory (now demolished) blocked at the ground floor with a modern window. The rear range is two storeys high with two windows, built of rubble with a slate roof, plain eaves, gable copings, an end stack, and a tall medial stack, along with water tabling. The gabled stone dormers have close verges and two-light casements. The first floor has twelve-pane sashes, while the ground floor features twelve and sixteen-pane sashes. There is a low two-storey extension adjoining the main house, constructed of rubble with a slate roof and a stone stack. It has a bipartite sixteen-pane sash set under the eaves and a modern window below. An unsympathetic modern extension is located at the extreme left.
The interior has been adapted for office use and includes an ironwork balustrade on the main staircase, featuring an anthemion motif and moulded tread ends. There is a service stair leading to the rear wing, six-panel doors, panelled reveals, and ceiling cornices. The first floor has round-arched corridor arches, and a spiral stair leading to the second floor has a scrolled newel and moulded tread ends.
