Description

Crug Glas is a farmhouse constructed from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and featuring rendered end stacks. The building is long and two-storey, with a three-window range that is offset to the left. It has small windows with stone voussoirs above flat heads and stone sills. The upper floor has 9-pane 20th-century oak sash windows, while the lower floor has 4-pane sashes and a panelled door with an overlight. At the eastern end, there is a stone and slate-roofed lean-to with a small first-floor window above it. The rear of the house includes an outshut, which is a later addition.

The interior follows a three-room plan, with a central hall and one room at each end. The former kitchen at the lower end features heavy beams, square joists, and a fireplace with a massive timber lintel and a bread oven. There is a plank door leading to the hall, and a thick wall separates the entrance hall from the parlour at the upper end. The hall contains right-angle stairs with stick balusters. The first-floor beams are encased, and there is one old doorcase remaining on the landing. The roof is supported by oak collar-trusses with pegged joints, and there are added timbers at the back to raise the wall and lower the pitch. The two parts of the house are divided by an internal stone wall. The upper end features a 2-bay roof with a neat truss that is probably from the later 18th century, while the main part has a 3-bay roof with heavier, rougher timbers and triple purlins, likely from the earlier 18th century. There is a small blocked loop in the gable wall, and the upper end has a square blocked loft-light, which contained the remains of a square-pane leaded window. The rear lean-to addition housed a dairy and kitchen.
