Description
The Glebe House, originally listed as the Rectory, is an 18th-century building with earlier medieval fabric incorporated within. It is a triple-range structure of two storeys and attics. The exterior is stuccoed, with a roof featuring two dormers and an eaves cornice. Five sash windows retain their original glazing bars. A particularly fine doorcase features a pediment ornamented with a palm branch moulding in the tympanum, fluted pilasters, a rectangular fanlight, and a six-panelled moulded door. Three stone steps lead to the entrance, accompanied by footscrapers. The building has a plinth, and the side elevation displays a hip roof configuration. The Glebe House forms a group with numbers 99 to 103 (odd) on St Stephen’s Road.
