Description
The stable cottage at Glanarbeth, built around 1860, was originally part of a stable block for the now-demolished Glanarberth mansion. It is constructed from rubble stone, which was previously roughcast, and features a slate roof with one stone ridge stack. The building includes cut stone voussoirs, sills, and a plinth.
This substantial structure is one storey with a loft. The central section has a large arch with raised impost and keyblocks, a plain radiating-bar fanlight, and modern timber infill below that includes a door. Above this is an eaves-breaking arched sash window with intersecting tracery and horns, set under a shallow gable. Flanking the central entry are two large hornless 12-pane camber-headed sash windows. On the left end, there is a ledged door with a large 6-pane overlight beneath a cambered head, while the right end features a former carriage entry with a boarded cambered arch and keystone, which has been replaced with modern plate glass.
The west end has 20th-century openings, two on each floor, overlooking a walled garden. The east end has hornless 12-pane sash windows on each floor with flat heads and cut-stone voussoirs. The rear includes an outshut with a blank opening in the east end wall, a door on the north end, a 4-pane sash window, a blocked broad opening with chamfered jambs, a 16-pane sash, and a door.
Attached at the northwest angle is a rubble stone range with a slate roof. This range features a hexagonal plinth on the east gable that supports a timber-columned lantern with an ogee-leaded roof, similar to one found on the stables at Pencraig, Llechryd. The east end has a door, while the north side has four bays with 12-pane sashes and a door arranged as WWDW, with the last two within a later two-bay cart shed extending north, featuring a stone pier at the east front.
To the southwest, there is a walled garden enclosed by rubble stone walls on three sides, with low lean-to outbuildings on the north side.
