Description
Glebe Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse featuring a rendered timber frame and a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys with an attic and includes seven 19th-century casement windows, which are arranged in 2-, 3-, and 4-light configurations with transoms on the ground floor. There is an off-centre 20th-century two-storey brick porch. The original front door is notable for its moulded cover-strips and a finely crafted frame with double ovolo mouldings, along with elaborate barred and ogee stops. The farmhouse has one central dormer and an off-centre axial stack, as well as a later gable-end stack. The principal wall-posts are jowled, and there is an original winding stair that leads from the first floor to the attic. The roof structure includes butt-purlins, collars, intermediate ties, and wind-bracing, with evidence suggesting a former central attic gable.
