Description
Glan Rheidol is a country house built from rubble stone, featuring a 20th-century hipped roof with plain tiles that sweep out at the eaves and includes a central valley. This roof replaces the original lower slated roofs with parapets. The house has red brick stacks, with one on the center of the west ridge, two on the rear ridge, and one behind the north ridge. It is two stories tall and has a roughly square plan with four windows on the main elevations.
The northern entrance front showcases large hornless 12-pane sash windows with brick heads and thin sandstone sills, with the right window on each floor being a dummy. A broad arched doorway in the third bay features a red brick arch above an ornate, large fanlight with radiating bars, leading to double 3-panel doors with fielded panels between coupled timber fluted Roman Doric columns.
The west and south garden fronts have similar upper sashes above four ground floor French windows, which include top lights over reeded transoms and margin panes. The roof on the south side has two hips and a valley between, and the second window on the first floor south is also a dummy. To the right, there is a set-back lower two-storey addition with one window, featuring a smaller 12-pane sash above a sash window with colored glass margins and slate sills.
At the rear, there is a wing projecting to the left with a gable over a 12-pane horned sash window and a side wall stack on the right return. The center has a 12-pane sash above a tripartite sash in a lean-to, while the right side features a two-storey hipped porch addition with a canted oriel over an elliptical-arched doorway, which includes a flush-panelled 6-panel door and a fanlight. The porch has crude raised angle piers and a string course.
Inside, the hall is illuminated by a large fanlight above the front door, with a stick-baluster staircase to the left. The downstairs has high ceilings, original folding wooden window shutters, and panelled doors. There is a plaster cornice with bead-and-reel and festoons in one corner room. The kitchen at the rear of the house has been altered, and the rear porch includes a 6-panel door leading into the lean-to.
