Glandulais Farmhouse

Farmhouse, in two parallel parts. The original part faces NW away from yard, whitewashed roughcast with slate roof and roughcast end stacks, external to left. Two-storey, 3-window front of 12-pane sashes with slightly cambered heads and stone sills, larger windows to ground floor. Centre arched entrance with recessed modern half-glazed door and original radiating-bar fanlight. Paired brackets to eaves. Whitewashed left end wall. Parallel rear range is much longer, 1+4+1-window, range facing the farmyard to SE. Unpainted rubble stone with slate roof, left end stack and one on ridge. Cemented plinth and low rubble wall to forecourt. Cambered-headed openings with grey stone voussoirs and 12-pane sashes, 6 to upper floor. Ground floor has lean-to to left, then door not aligned, then 4-bay centre has blocked door, sash-window, boarded door with 3-pane overlight and sash window. Sash window to far right. The windows flanking the main door are broader. Gable end to left has one attic window. Gable end to right is whitewashed with sash window each floor. Whitewashed roughcast rear elevation of this range is set back to right of original house. Three big 12-pane sashes close-set each floor. Raised door to ground floor left dates from conversion of this part of building to granary and stores following the return of the family to Abermarlais. Single storey outbuilding runs forward from right end.

The early C19 part retains its late-Georgian character with central staircase, panelled shutters and 6-panel doors. Later part similarly unaltered.
