The Glebe

The Glebe is a rectory that has been converted into a farmhouse, likely originating in the 17th century. It was extended in the mid-18th century and partially remodeled in the early 19th century. The building is constructed from rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, topped with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends on the front range and hipped ends on the parallel range at the rear. There are projecting end stacks, with 19th-century brick shafts on both the left and right sides.

The layout is a double depth plan with a wide through passage. There are two principal rooms at the front, with the larger room on the right heated by the end stacks, and service rooms located at the rear. The original layout is not entirely clear, but it was likely designed as a two or three-room plan heated by end stacks before being extended to create the current double depth configuration in the mid-18th century. It is uncertain whether the front or rear of the house is the older section, as there are very few early features visible.

In the early 19th century, the house underwent changes to its windows and much of the joinery was replaced. The exterior is two storeys high with an almost symmetrical three-window front and an entrance to the left of center, featuring a 20th-century door. The early 19th-century three-light casements have pointed heads and thin metal glazing bars on the outer face, with timber glazing bars on the inside. The eaves fascia displays a pointed two-centred arched arcade motif, while the rear elevation includes 20th-century PVC windows.

Inside, the wide through passage contains an early 19th-century staircase on the left, featuring a turned newel, stick balusters, and a slightly ramped rail. The rear range has boxed-in large beams, and the roof structure of the front range consists of A-frame trusses that are halved, lap-jointed, and pegged at the apexes. The collars are also partly halved, lap-jointed, and pegged, with the principals and collars showing rough chamfering and a complete sequence of carpenter's marks. The rear range features rougher A-frame trusses that are similarly constructed.
