Description
Glebe House, formerly known as The Wendy, is a house that was once the rectory, built by Thomas Windsor around 1828. It features a later 19th-century service wing and porch. The house is timber-framed and plastered, designed to resemble masonry joints, and has hipped slate roofs along with two gault brick stacks and a gault brick plinth.
The main range is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay facade, while the three-storey service range is set back to the north-east. The eaves are deep and panelled. The closed porch has a semi-elliptical plan, featuring a glazed door and fanlight, reeded pilasters, and a moulded cornice. There are two ground floor and three first floor segmental bay windows, all with reeded architraves and pointed glazing bars in the upper lights. The service wing has windows with pointed arches and fixed lights above casement windows. A panelled side door is flanked by pointed arched sidelights.
Inside, the house boasts reed moulded doorcases with corner bosses and moulded panelled doors. There are fluted pilastered archways leading to the passage and blind arches at the passage doorways. An open string staircase and original chimney pieces are present, along with Tuscan columns in the side passage of the drawing room, which has large double doors leading to the dining room. The rear elevation features garden casements.
