Glan-y-nant

Local rubble sandstone building with an artificial stone slate roof. Long single depth range of several builds but all one storey and attics, with a continuous roofline. Entrance elevation. This is in seven bays with the entrance in the central bay. Two and 3-light timber casements, almost all of which are late C20 joinery, although the openings may be original. The window in bay 4 to the right of the entrance appears to have an ancient frame. The entrance has a late C20 porch, but it has a C16 4-centred chamfered doorframe within. There are pentices over windows 3 and 5 with supporting timbers set directly into the wall, but it is difficult to say how old they are. Five late C20 dormers with 2-light casements and gabled roofs. Two ridge stacks, both rebuilt. The left return has a small modern rendered extension. The right gable end has late C20 windows. Garden elevation. This has two doors and six windows arranged thus, D : W : W : W : W : W : D : W. Again, all late C20 joinery with a very small window at the right-hand end. The third window from the left appears to be a conversion from the cross-passage entry. Six dormers as before.

The interior has been much altered and modernised. The cross-passage has gone. There are two fireplaces, one with an apparently C16 chamfered stone frame (it is this one that Fox and Raglan say is the remnant of the late medieval house), and one with stone jambs and an oak lintel, possibly replaced. There is also part of an old staircase. The roofs are upper cruck/principal rafter type with ties; two different types, with two trusses to the later extension and three to the main roof, but both of quite slender scantling and the roof has been reconstructed above them.
