Description

Glan Nant is a two-storey building featuring Gothick frontages, influenced by John Nash, similar to Cronkhill from 1802. The building has an unusual rendering from around 1925 and slate roofs, with the main part having an asymmetrically hipped roof and swept out bracket eaves. There are grouped cement rendered chimney stacks set diagonally, with a group of five at the ridge. The northeast side has a slate hung attic with casement windows, which were not present in photographs from 1860.

The southeast entrance front has three bays and a two-storey splayed bay on the right. The first floor features recessed sash windows with glazing bars and intersecting Gothick three-centred heads. The ground floor has similar style French windows with four-centred heads and a central entrance. To the left, there is a lean-to verandah on later timber pillars, which were formerly paired, extending the full length of the three-window southwest front with similar glazing. A later and lower two-storey range is set back to the northwest, with a hipped slate roof on the left end, similar glazing, rendering, and verandah. The northwest end is splayed and features Tudor style hood moulds over casement windows. The uneven eastern front (the rear) lacks Gothick detail and has various adjoining outbuildings, with sash windows that have glazing bars.

Inside, the building retains a significant amount of contemporary Gothick detail on the ground floor. There is a cantilevered staircase, supported by later timber, leading to a stone flagged entrance hall that winds around to the top. The staircase features moulded tread ends and a handrail that scrolls out at the base, with some replaced uprights. The dining room to the right has splayed openings and a Gothick screens passage with panelled splays, along with a marble fireplace decorated with 19th-century glazed tiles in the style of William Morris.
