Glen House, a distinctive Grade II listed country house with Arts and Crafts architecture, is an example of one of the earliest works of one of Britain’s most influential architects, Clough Williams- Ellis. Williams Ellis, born in Wales in 1883 where he created the Italianate village of Portmeirion, was a pioneering environmentalist. He believed that buildings should enhance the landscape and through his work, always sought to “lift a building out of dullness”, creating buildings of beauty, simplicity and charm. Glen House is a testament to this ethic lying in over 10 acres of private land.

The listing states the house as dating from 1916 designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, with additions and alterations before 1923 by Conrad Birdwood Willcocks. The bathroom suites and multi entertaining are rising to the first floor property was originally the pane sash windows and complemented by relatively recreation room. girls' home at Princess doors.
