The Rectorial Glebe Farmhouse

The Rectorial Glebe Farmhouse is a former rectory that has been converted into a farmhouse. It dates back to the 17th century and was extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. The front is made of coursed shale with granite quoins, slate sills, and shallow brick arches above the openings. The roof is covered with asbestos slate and features brick chimneys at the gable ends, with a lower sweep at the rear over shallow outshuts.

The overall plan is L-shaped and double-depth. Originally, it had two rooms: a parlour on the left and a slightly larger hall on the right, with a cross passage in between. A shallow outshut behind the parlour and the stair hall was likely added in the early to mid-18th century to provide an apple store over the cellar and stair hall. The kitchen, which was probably located behind the hall, was rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century and features a large gable fireplace, with a service room in the outshut to its left and a single-storey room beyond.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical five-window south front. The doorway is centrally located but slightly grouped towards the left with the windows. It features a 20th-century top-glazed door and early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sashes, all within their original slightly arched openings. There are two 20th-century buttresses: one between the left-hand and second-from-left windows, and another to the right of the right-hand windows. In front of the right gable, there is a 17th-century moulded kneeler stone. Most of the other windows are 16-pane sashes, with two 18-pane three-light casements in wider openings that light the rear room.

Inside, there are 18th-century features including a plaster ceiling in the parlour with an oval central moulding adorned with carved oak leaves, possibly from the late 17th century. There is a moulded plaster cornice at the entrance, six-panel doors to the front room, and an open-well open-string stair with column-over-column turned balusters and a moulded handrail over turned newels. The large hall fireplace has a timber lintel and a large dressed granite stone oven, along with two-panelled doors leading to the chambers. The roof was replaced in the 20th century and formerly contained attic rooms.
