Parc Glas

Parc Glas is a two-storey house with a cellar, featuring a five-window garden front. The exterior is finished with whitewashed render on rubble and topped with a hipped slate roof with plain eaves. The original chimney stacks have been removed.

On the first floor, there are 12-pane sash windows with plain reveals and slate sills. The ground floor windows mirror this arrangement, flanking a central portico. The stone Doric portico has a flat entablature with a moulded cornice supported by fluted columns, with half-columns on either side of the entrance. The round-arched doorway includes a segmental fanlight, panelled reveals, and a half-glazed panelled door. To the left end wall, there are blank round-arched recesses, and a 9-pane sash window on the right end, with a similar arched recess above a barred cellar window on the ground floor.

The older part of the house now serves as a rear wing, originally facing northeast. It also has whitewashed render on rubble and a steeply pitched slate roof with plain eaves, along with some modern skylights and rendered end stacks. A flat leaded area connects the old and new roofs, while modern railings rise above the ridge. The northeast front has three windows: a 12-pane sash on the left, a shallow 6-pane sash in the centre, and a modern window on the right. The ground floor features larger 12-pane sashes on the left and centre, and a broad 16-pane sash on the right, with a small modern window at the extreme left.

At the rear, three tall arched windows illuminate the staircase hall, featuring 19th-century sidebar glazing and some stained glass. There is a stairway leading down to the cellar, accessed through an arched opening with a panelled door. A later 19th-century low hipped range extends along the flank of the old house, with round-arched openings and sidebar glazing.

Inside, the drawing room (originally the dining room) is supported by a screen of four Ionic columns with a full entablature. The library (originally the drawing room) has a cornice decorated with an oak leaf and acorn motif, an arched recess with pilasters on the end wall, and a grey marble fireplace. The large oval staircase hall features a plaster rose with radiating spars on the flat ceiling, cantilevered timber stairs with plain balusters, and 6-panel doors with panelled reveals and window shutters.
