Description

Glascrug is a one and a half storey farmhouse that features a long, low, irregular range constructed from whitewashed rubble stone. It has a low-pitched, close-eaved slate roof with end stacks, one large and square on the left and the other rebuilt in yellow brick on the right. There is a 20th-century extension added to the right.

The main range has a low plinth and a roughly central entrance that includes a boarded timber door beneath a rectangular overlight with four panes. This is accessed by a stone step with limewashed reveals. To the left of the entrance, there are two windows, both of which are 12-pane hornless timber sashes with stone sills, limewashed reveals, and flat heads. A similar window is located at the far right. The upper storey features three eaves-breaking dormers, each containing a 12-pane hornless timber sash with a slate sill and a timber gablet, with slate-hung sides and slate roofs. One dormer is positioned to the left between the two lower windows, another is slightly to the right of the doorway, and the third is close to the right end of the building. The eaves are supported by crude stone corbels.

The 20th-century extension, which is set back to the right, is a painted rendered two-storey range with a slate gabled roof that is slightly steeper than the main roof, and it has a brick end stack.

Although not inspected, it is reported that the kitchen has a flagged slate floor, an open fireplace, boarded internal walls, and a dog-leg stair.
