Glebe Farmhouse And Attached Former Cowhouse

Glebe Farmhouse and attached former cowhouse date to the mid-17th century, with an 18th or early 19th century wing. The farmhouse is timber framed, featuring large framing with jowled corner posts and whitewashed brick and rendered infill, set on a lias stone base. The roofs are tiled, with a large brick internal stack. The building is arranged in a T-plan, with one wing set back on the left.

The two-storey, two-window range farmhouse has an entrance in the wing, with a segmental-headed two-panel door set within a round brick arch. Most windows are wood casements with leaded lights, though one old casement in the left return gable features crown glass. The wing is constructed of red brick with a brick string course and dentil cornice. It is one storey and attic, with a dormer window. A small window is to the right of the door, with a leaded casement to the left, placed under a segmental brick arch. The left section, originally a cowhouse, has a stable door and a hayloft door, with a 20th-century window inserted below.

The garden elevation has exposed timber framing, a two-window range, with a French casement on the left and a late 20th-century flat-roofed dormer. The rear of the farmhouse displays exposed framing, a timber-framed porch with a 19th-century plank door in the re-entrant angle, and a timber-framed single-storey lean-to. The wing has a trellis porch with a 19th-century door, a large brick stack, and an outshut.

Internally, much of the timber framing is exposed, and there is a straight flight staircase. The attic stairs retain a 17th-century handrail. There is an open fireplace with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and another fireplace with an infilled opening. Features include old three-plank doors and wide floor boards. The interior of the cowhouse retains sections of the original hay rack and trough. An animal housing structure is attached at right angles to the right, with whitewashed brick to the yard, and a timber frame with brick infill and a short section of 19th-century brick to the rear. It has a tile roof with two louvres. The farmhouse, attached buildings, and barn (listed separately) form a notable group.
