Cadw's description
Location
Form a courtyard to the rear of the house.
History
The buildings were originally the brewhouse and coach house to the hall and are probably almost contemporary with it (c1800); converted into two dwellings (Garden House and Coach House), c1980.
Exterior
Brewhouse range to the S is brick with hipped slate roof: 2-storeyed, 4-window range with doorway to right of centre, and mainly leaded windows, with transoms and cambered brick heads to ground floor. Former coach house encloses the courtyard to the E: also brick, with slate roof surmounted by a cupola. 2-storeyed, with 2-window ranges to either side of central pedimented block. This is articulated by pilasters, forming wide central bay with paired wide segmental openings to ground floor (upper windows renewed in earlier openings), and segmentally arched doorway and passage entry in outer bays, with blind windows above. The courtyard is enclosed to the N by a brick wall with plain stone copings and paired cast-iron gates.
Reason for designation
A highly important part of an ensemble at Glansevern Hall, and service buildings of some quality.
