Description
The dovecote at Glebe Farm, located approximately 20 metres north of the farmhouse, is a Grade II listed structure dated 'RGDD / 1735'. It is built from coursed, dressed sandstone and features a stone slate roof. The dovecote is square in shape, three storeys high, and consists of a single cell. It has large quoins and the farmyard front includes a moulded, quoined segmental archway at the ground floor, along with a 20-pane casement window on the second floor, which is set in a square-faced surround and covered by a spiked iron cage. There is a continuous ledge beneath the eaves, shaped kneelers, and ashlar gable copings.
On the rear side, there is an inserted ground-floor doorway and a two-light, square-faced mullioned window on the second floor. The left return features external stone steps leading to a first-floor doorway that has a square-faced surround with a keystone and a datestone above it. Additionally, there is a double-chamfered single-light window in the gable. The interior has not been inspected, and the attached farm buildings are not of special interest.
