Description
Glynhir Courtyard Cottage is a building that extends west from the two-storey farmhouse range now known as the Bailiff's cottage. It faces north towards the brewhouse yard and is constructed from local sandstone rubble masonry, topped with local sandstone roofing slabs that have tile ridges. There are rendered chimneys located at both the west end and the center of the building. To the left, there is a forward link building that connects to the brewhouse and contains sheds.
The north elevation of the Courtyard cottage features two upper-storey windows, one on the left and one on the right of the brewhouse link, both with square openings positioned close to the eaves; these are casement windows with 12 panes each. Below, there is one window with a cambered arch that is a fixed light with eight panes.
On the rear elevation, which faces the mansion, there are three segmental-arched two-light casement windows on the upper floor, although the center window has been reduced in size. The outer windows each have four panes, and all have stone sills. On the ground storey, there is an 18-pane two-light casement window to the left, a four-pane two-light casement window to the right, and a fixed eight-pane window with a deep segmental head and a stone sill. In the west gable wall, there is a 16-pane two-light casement window with a cambered arch and a stone sill.
