Description
Glan-y-Wern is a 2-storey house, likely dating to the 18th century, constructed of rubble with slate roofs. The roof has a hipped shape to the north-west section, and the eaves project outwards. The house features rubble stacks with weather coursing. The windows are small-pane sashes, largely retaining 16 panes, and have deep lintels on the ground floor. Entrances are located on the north-east and south-west sides; the north-east entrance has a modern boarded door with a plain fan. To the left of the main entrance is a lower 2-window cross-range, and to the right is the 1-window end of the main range, with a lean-to outhouse attached. A further outhouse projects from the north-west corner, formerly a wash-house, and has a large entrance on its north-east gable face. A string course runs at first-floor sill level on the north-west side, incorporating a date plaque in a stone surround. This string course continues around to the south-west side and returns around the north-west corner. One first-floor window on the north-west side is a 20-pane sash behind later 19th-century half-glazed French doors. A slightly lower projecting bay to the right has a shallow bowed front, intersecting tracery, and a Tudor-arched head to the first-floor 12-pane sash; small-pane glazed French doors are below, also with an arched head. The rear of the house has twin gables, plain chimneys, and lean-to and gabled projections, including a good 40-pane stair light.
Attached to the south side of the house are a 2-storey coach house and a single-storey stable block. The coach house has a reduced flat-arched entrance, now with a concrete lintel but retaining a large original stone lintel above. Weather coursing marks the boundary between the coach house and the stepped-down former stable, which has an old slate roof. The stable has boarded doors with a ventilation slit to the left, and a covered passage, continuously roofed with the stable block, leads through to the garden at the rear. Both blocks represent extensive remodellings of earlier structures.
The interior features a single flight staircase with an elm swept rail, oak and iron stick balusters, and pine treads and risers. Good reeded architraves with corner rosettes are found in the hall and main ground and first floor rooms. The first-floor rooms include plain Gothic fireplaces constructed of slate, with pointed arched panels and quatrefoils.
