Description

Glebe House and South View are a pair of houses dating from the 17th century or earlier, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The buildings are timber framed and tile hung in ornamental patterns, featuring some exposed frame on the rear left with brick infill. They have a plain tiled roof and are arranged in a main range with a cross-wing. The houses are two storeys high, with a double pitch, half-hipped roof. The facade on the right is set forward from the original front elevation, and there is a lower gabled and bargeboarded two-storey garret cross-wing projecting to the left.

There are moulded stacks on the left and rear left, and a truncated stack at the end right. The cross-wing has one wooden casement window on each floor. The main range features three sash windows on the first floor, a canted bay window and a sash window on the ground floor, along with central double half-glazed doors in a raking porch supported by openwork wrought iron piers. The property includes a railed forecourt with spearhead rails.

The left return, which serves as the entrance elevation to Glebe House, has one wooden casement window on the first floor and two on the ground floor, with a half-glazed door to the right in a gabled porch. There is a canted extension at the rear left, where some late framing is exposed, and a weather-boarded and tile hung half-hipped wing at the back.
