Description

Glebe House, formerly known as the Vicarage, is a private house built in 1727, with later alterations. It is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof. The building has three storeys and five bays. The entrance includes a half-glazed door with glazing bars and three vertical bolection moulded panels, set within a pilastered doorcase topped with a flat head. A projecting brick porch, supported by timber pilasters, springers, and an archivolt, fronts the door. This porch has a plain frieze, a projecting moulded cornice, and a flat roof. There are two-brick-deep projecting bands at the first and second floor levels. The windows are sashes with exposed weight boxes, glazing bars, stone sills, and cambered arches. The eaves cornice is bead moulded with dentils, and the gable coping features kneelers. The gable ends have massive stacks with six separate flues, rising from slender stone bands at the ridge level.

Inside, the entrance hall has a slate slab floor. The dining room and lounge boast plaster panelled and moulded ceiling beams, along with panelled window shutters. An oak staircase with turned balusters and newels, carved from the solid into four balusters, has an open string. There are four panelled doors on the ground and first floors, and a bevelled beam at the first floor level.
