Description
Glanau Farm is a small, two-storey combination farm building of the bank-barn type, featuring a cowhouse with a hayloft above, a stable at one end, and a cider mill at the other. It is constructed of coursed sandstone and has a steeply-pitched corrugated-iron roof, which likely covers or replaces the original thatch. The building has a rectangular plan, probably consisting of three structural bays, aligned on a north-south axis, and is positioned side-on to a ground that slopes sharply from northeast to southwest.
Most of the northeast side, which faces the higher ground, is currently obscured by a makeshift tractor shed. However, towards the southern end, a flight of four steps leads up to a doorway with a wooden surround that breaks the eaves, protected by a pitched canopy. The northeast gable wall features a wide stable door on the left, a small square window offset to the right of centre with external wooden shutters, and a square window in the gable that has damaged glazing and is flanked by small slit breathers. All these openings, except for the breather, are topped with monolith lintels.
On the southwest side, which rises from lower ground, part of the wall is covered by a large lean-to shed. The exposed section to the left of this shed has a small square window for the stable, complete with an internal wooden shutter, and a very small slit breather beneath the eaves. Above the lean-to on the right, there is a similar window located beneath the eaves. The building has not been inspected.
