Description
Glan-y-Afon is a two-storey building with a roughcast exterior and a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof featuring soffitted eaves. It has rendered chimneys, a stone cill band, a plinth, and a porch. The central part of the building projects forward and includes an octagonal entrance bay with a stone porch supported by two pairs of unfluted Greek Doric columns. The entrance features sidelights and a fanlight. On the upper floor, there are three 9-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has a larger window, likely from the late 19th century, on either side of the entrance. Each flanking bay has one 9-pane sash window on the upper floor and a taller 12-pane sash window on the ground floor. To the right, there is a narrow bay set back with one 9-pane sash window on each floor. Attached to the right is a service range built in a similar style around 1890, which has 20th-century alterations; the left-hand return elevation features a bay window.
The rear elevation facing the garden has a central projecting bay with an iron trellis veranda. It includes three 9-pane sash windows on the upper floor and tall 15-pane sash windows on the ground floor, with the left window now functioning as a door. The flanking bays have 9 and 12-pane sash windows on the right, while the left side has a single-storey extension, likely from 1890, that projects forward and features a tall three-light window in a stone surround.
During the 1995 survey, the interior was not accessible, but it appears to retain some late 19th-century fireplaces.
To the north of the main elevation, there is a pair of roughcast gatepiers topped with stone ball finials, which show signs of alteration. Low walls with iron railings are attached to each side, and the iron gates include elements from the 18th or early 19th century.
