Description

Glandwr is an early 19th-century country house, dated 1809 on a fireplace beam that has been relocated. The house features whitewashed roughcast walls and a large hipped slate roof with close eaves, along with two whitewashed rendered axial stacks. It is two storeys high and has a three-window east front. The first floor has narrow 4-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features Gothic pointed-arched heads above two French windows and a central door. The French windows have been lengthened and include shutters. The entrance has a 6-panel door with a traceried overlight and a later stucco surround.

Both sides of the house have additions; originally, the elevations had two windows with Gothic windows below. On the north side, there are two original 4-pane sashes on the first floor and a large 20th-century flat-roofed addition. The south side has one similar 4-pane sash to the left and a one-window addition to the right, which is slightly taller and hipped, matching the east and south fronts. This addition features a 16-pane first floor horned sash above a Gothic ground floor window that is lower and wider than the originals. The west rear wall has a 16-pane sash and a long stair light in the angle, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed addition in the southwest angle. The rear west side has a lean-to addition raised in the 20th century.

The original house has a notably neat Regency plan with a central staircase, corner rooms, and small dressing rooms between the first-floor bedrooms at the front and rear. The ground floor has been generally altered; the northeast room has a reeded ceiling border and a blocked pointed window on the north side, along with a later 19th-century fireplace. The northwest room had a similar side window that is now a door, and the southwest room has the relocated 1809 beam. The entrance hall features later 19th-century encaustic tiles and a simple reeded ceiling border. The elliptical stair arch leads to a simple dog-leg stair with stick balusters, which is unusual for being apse-ended and backed by a curved rail that is central to the first-floor landing. The landing is square and has six doors leading to four corner rooms and two former dressing rooms, all with coved ceilings and reeded borders. The southeast room has been subdivided to allow passage to the southeast addition. There are no original fireplaces remaining in the house.
