Description

Glebe Farm House is a house that was formerly a rectory, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It has been reduced in size and raised, with alterations made around 1830 when it stopped being used as a rectory. The building features a timber frame that has been extended with clay lump and is plastered. It has a shallow pitch slate roof and originally consisted of at least three cells extending further to the right. The house is two storeys high with a four-window front. The entrance is located to the left of the centre and includes a half-glazed, half-fielded panelled door with a traceried rectangular fanlight and a pilastered doorcase. Flanking the entrance are three 3-pane architraved sash windows, while other windows include 1, 2, and 4-light glazing bar casements, all featuring 19th-century timber hoodmoulds. The eaves are boxed. The left end has an original massive external stack that is rendered with triple offsets and has a rebuilt cap, with an entrance located behind the stack. There is an internal rebuilt ridge stack to the right and a gable end pentice board. At the rear, there is a continuous lean-to addition with three 3-light glazing bar casements. Inside, the house has a stop-chamfered axial binding beam, some exposed close studding with a cranked brace, and an arched brace from a jowled post to the tie beam.
