Description
Glebe Cottage is a cottage dating to the 17th century, but with 18th-century cladding. It is timber framed and covered in weatherboarding. The roof is tiled, with a half-hipped section on the left and a hipped section on the right, extending over a narrow extension to the right. A tall brick stack is located on the right side of the building. The cottage has two storeys on the left and three storeys on the right. There are two windows on the first floor of the left side and one window on the ground floor. A small window is located under the eaves on the right side, with one window on each of the floors below. The windows on the left are cross windows, while those on the right are casements. The doorway is off-centre, with a boarded door and a small flat hood above it.
