Description
Glebe House, formerly known as Grabe House, is a former rectory built in the 1840s or 1850s. The building features a garden front made of dressed rubble that is partly brought to course, with a slated roof and raised verges supported by kneelers. It has a roughly 'L' shaped plan and is designed in a revived Jacobean style. The house is two storeys tall with an attic and has a string course over the ground floor.
The façade consists of three bays, with a projecting centre that has kneelers and a crow-stepped gable. The windows are cross casement types set in chamfered reveals. On the first floor, the outer windows are topped with small parapeted gables that include shields, while the central section has two windows with a common hood mould and a moulded panel between them. Above this, there is a smaller attic window.
On the ground floor, there are three angled bays, with the centre bay featuring a gablet. The entrance is located in a two-storey porch at the rear left, which is positioned at the angle with a lower rear wing that is one storey plus an attic. This rear wing was extended in a similar style during the 1920s.
