Pant Glas Farmhouse

Pant Glas Farmhouse is a two-storey farmhouse and byre range dating from the 18th century, constructed of rubble with a slate roof, with half-hipped gable ends. Two brick chimneys are present, built onto larger, earlier stacks.

The main, southeast-facing front has been whitened and features an off-centre entrance within a 20th-century gabled porch, with a boarded door. Recessed sash windows flank the entrance; one has six panes, the other four. A further boarded door is located far to the left, accompanied by a small eight-pane casement window. Three six-pane sash windows are positioned under the eaves on the first floor. To the right, and integrated with the main domestic section, is a stable section, originally also domestic. A boarded door with a four-pane overlight serves as an altered primary entrance. A large entrance with boarded double doors is situated further right, possibly replacing a chimney that would have been in this location; two boarded loft lights are positioned above. An external rubble-parapetted stone staircase leads to an upper entrance with a boarded door on the right-hand gable. The rear, unwhitened, north corner is characterised by long quoins. A blocked opening is located to the left, with a former primary entrance now converted into an eight-pane casement window. This opposing entrance suggests a cross-passage plan. Further four and eight-pane casements of varying sizes are present on both floors, including small primary windows to the ground floor. A masonry break signifies the original extent of the main block; the extension to the far right dates from the 19th century. A former upper entrance is present on the southwest gable.

A hipped-roofed, single-storey wash house or dairy block from the 19th century adjoins the front. It has a boarded door and a sixteen-pane sash window on its northeast face, the lower section of which is boarded.

Inside the farmhouse, the left-hand room has a wide inglenook fireplace with a chamfered oak lintel, and the ceiling features boxed beams. The stable section has a high beamed ceiling, suggesting a building of high status. It contains wide, stopped-chamfered main (transverse) beams and crisp stopped-chamfered joists, indicative of early construction. A cross-passage may exist to the left, with a later rubble internal wall separating the house from the stable. In the left-hand corner, a large square masonry mass relates to a 19th-century alteration, creating a dairy/pantry area accessed from the house. One main ceiling beam has been removed, along with attendant joists, associated with the insertion of the large frontal entrance which may have involved the removal of a lateral chimney. Three openings are blocked on the rear wall.
