Description
Glaspant is a country house built around 1800-1820, which incorporates a smaller house from the 18th century. It was restored from 1975. The exterior was originally covered in colourwashed roughcast and features a slate gabled roof with renewed bargeboards. The walls are now partly stuccoed and partly exposed stone. The front range has three rendered 20th-century stacks and presents a regular five-window, two-storey facade with loft windows in the end walls. The windows are renewed 12-pane sashes, with the sashes to the left of the doorway being false. The central doorway is broad and arched, featuring fine timber tracery in the fanlight and traceried sidelights, topped by a pediment with a small-paned tripartite lunette. The eaves and pediment are adorned with timber modillion cornices.
The southeast end has a single-storey double-hipped projection with a 12-pane sash window to the southwest, a half-glazed door, and paired hornless 12-pane sashes to the southeast. The northwest end features 12-pane sashes with rough stone voussoirs, which were exposed in 1993, and two windows on each floor, along with a brick head for the loft window.
The rear range consists of two lower storeys with renewed stucco and various renewed windows on the southeast front, including some sashes and some metal casements, along with a 20th-century porch. There are two renewed stacks. Behind this, to the northwest, is a rubble stone range with a half-hipped northwest gable and an angle stack, as well as a parallel gabled range that was formerly a granary.
Inside, the southeast ground floor room features two arched alcoves and a mid-19th-century slate fireplace on the east end wall. There are two ceiling borders, one scrolled and one reeded with leaf scrolls. The central hallway has a renewed arch that opens onto a lateral stair with stick balusters and moulded tread ends. A smaller southwest room has a simple plaster cornice. The interior includes six-panel doors with architraves that have Regency detailing, reeded with angle blocks, and panelled shutters. In the single-storey east end section, there is a room with two arched alcoves. The rear range has two timber lintel fireplaces, one of which has a scratched date of 1741.
