High Glanau, Arts and Crafts manor house in Cwmcarvan, United Kingdom
High Glanau stands on elevated ground with a broad slate roof, gabled turrets, and stone-walled terraces overlooking the Vale of Usk landscape.
The manor, completed in 1922, was designed by architect Eric Francis for Henry Avray Tipping, who served as the architectural editor of Country Life magazine.
The formal gardens display the influence of early 20th-century design principles with structured terraces, an octagonal pond, and extensive herbaceous borders.
The property maintains its private status while opening its gardens to visitors on select days throughout the year through the National Gardens Scheme.
The interior arrangement specifically accommodates Tipping's collection with features like ribbed plasterwork and a dog-leg staircase with pierced splat balusters.
