Description

Glebe House is an early 18th-century former pair of cottages, now a single dwelling. It is constructed of brick with a pantile roof. The house is two storeys high with an attic. The symmetrical front facade has five late 19th-century sash windows with vertical glazing bars. A central 20th-century door has been inserted. Two blind window spaces are suggested at first-floor level by black brick headers, indicating former doorways below which are now blocked. A platband and moulded brick cornice run along the top of the facade. The east gable-end is decorated with cable moulding and a black header lozenge pattern. Gable-end stacks are present. A later continuous outshut and a single-storey outbuilding extend to the rear of the property.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
