History

An integral part of the late C19 Home Farm development; this building is not shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map dated 1889.

Glanusk Park was created in 1825 by the ironmaster Sir Joseph Bailey (1783-1858), nephew of Richard Crawshay of Cyfarthfa Castle. The house, by Robert Lugar, was built between 1825 and1830 and was in Tudor Gothic style characterised by octagonal ogee turrets and pinnacles. It was demolished in 1952-54 following extensive damage caused in World War II.

Exterior

Long single-storey range of snecked masonry with stone dressings under a slate roof. Red brick ridge stack and a second stack to the rear roof pitch. At the east end of the S elevation the supervisors office has a projecting bay window of 4 x 8 pane sash returns beneath a rendered gable. The window provides the supervisor with a full view of the mills opposite, cart shed and entrance to the yard. The room within is still used as an office. The office entrance is to the right of the bay window, beneath a stone lintel, which contains a recessed panelled door. Further R, towards the end of the range is a large C20 window which replaces earlier double doors. To the L of the cross gable, the door and window openings are irregularly spaced and rise to eaves level. There are 4 doorways, including 3 pairs of double doors; all are planked and blue painted and some are partially lit. The windows are all multi-pane casements. There are 3 skylights towards the L end. The W gable end has a door and an oculus in the gable. The E gable end has a large C20 window. The rear has 4 windows of irregular size and spacing.

Interior

The main entrance is recessed and leads to a short passage. To the L is the room with the advanced gable which is still used as an office.
