Description

Glebe Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage attached to Minster View. It features scraped lias rubble walls and a slate roof with stone gable-coping on the left side. There are brick stacks at the left gable and to the right of the center along the ridge. The cottage has two storeys and attics, with four windows and one dormer. The windows are sashes with glazing-bars, and they have renewed brick dressings and arch-heads, along with stone cills. There are concrete lintels on the right side. The front door, located to the left of center, is a wooden, four-panelled door with two top lights from the 19th century. Additionally, there is a wooden, flush-panelled door at the right end, also with two top lights.
