Description

Glangwden is a two-storey, three-window lobby-entry house dating from the 19th century. The entrance is located to the left of the center. The original two units are timber-framed, featuring four tiers of high-quality box-framing set on a stone plinth. The northern gable end jetties at both the mid-rail and gable level. An additional third unit has been added against the northern gable end, which includes five tiers of box-framing. The house has a shallow hipped slate roof and a narrow red brick ridge stack, with the southern side being slate-hung.

There is a gabled timber-framed porch with a slate roof, which features a doorway beneath a shallow decorated archway and side-lights. Inside the porch is a late 20th-century half-glazed panelled door. The windows in the box panels have been replaced with uPVC; there is a single-light window to the left of the porch, a two-light window to the right, and a narrow single-light window to the far right. The upper storey has four windows, all single lights of various sizes. The southern end is constructed of random stone and has a single uPVC window to the upper left, partly set within the brickwork. The northern end is weather-boarded and painted in black-and-white, with a uPVC window on each storey.

At the rear, there are Victorian red brick additions, including a two-storey wing at the center with a brick end stack and a slate-hung gable end, which aligns with the main roofline. To the left of this wing is a lean-to porch attached to the main range, and to the right, there is a full-height lean-to. The porch features a late 20th-century part-glazed wooden door beneath a shallow canopy, and its northern side is painted black-and-white, while the main range above is slate-hung. Most of the windows have segmental brick heads and contain late 20th-century top-hung uPVC windows, except for a large three-light wooden window under a concrete lintel on the northern side of the wing.

The interior was not seen during the resurvey.
