The Glebe

The Glebe is a rectory that has been converted into a farmhouse, likely built in the early 18th century and altered over time. The building features granite rubble that is now pebble-dashed at the front, with a slurried slate roof and brick chimneys. It has a T-shaped layout, consisting of a long three-unit front range with a central rear wing. The structure is two storeys high and has three wide bays. The central doorway is framed by a wooden Tuscan architrave, which includes a triglyph frieze and a mutule cornice. On the ground floor, there are two closely spaced windows on each side of the door, while the first floor has three symmetrically arranged windows, all of which have altered glazing that has replaced the original sashes. Gable chimneys are present, and there is a single-bay addition at the right-hand end that is not of special interest. The rear wing has been covered by a later addition up to the first floor and features two small two-light casements and a gable chimney. Inside, there is a very thick rear partition wall, crude beams in the kitchen behind this wall, a doglegged staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail, as well as panelled doors on the first floor.
