Glyn Abbot

Glyn Abbot is an early to mid 19th century Classical villa, likely built in the 1830s, set in its own grounds on an elevated site. It faces south across a terraced forecourt and is located near the eastern boundary of the Community Council area, approximately midway between the town centre and the coast road A 548. There is a converted stone lodge at the entry of the uphill drive.

The villa is a two-storey building with a dignified and symmetrical three-bay stucco front, featuring a pediment treatment on the advanced outer bays. It has a hipped slate roof with rendered brick chimney stacks. The first floor has 9-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features small-pane tripartite camber-headed windows. There is a sill band and a plinth. A central trellised porch with panelled double doors provides the main entrance. Small-pane sash windows are also present on the sides of the building, and it steps back at the rear with a secondary entrance on the east side.

Inside, the main entrance leads to a deep entrance hall with an open stairwell beyond. The interiors are reported to retain well-preserved contemporary details, although they were not accessible during inspections in 1990. Glyn Abbot is listed as a fine local example of a Classical small country house.
