Description
Glebe Cottage, which includes a converted barn adjoining to the west, is a house that has been extended from a former barn. It likely dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with the barn conversion occurring around 1960. The building is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with stone rubble or cob stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and features a thatched roof.
The house has a two-room plan and faces south-south-east, with end stacks, the eastern stack being projecting, and a central entrance lobby with rear stairs. To the left (west), there is a short block that connects the main house to the former barn, which is now used for domestic purposes and serves as a crosswing that projects forward. The building is two storeys high.
The main house has a symmetrical three-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. The central doorway features a 20th-century door behind a 20th-century porch that has a hipped, thatch-roofed design. The roof is hipped at both ends, and the rear wall is blind. The connecting bay and former barn have 1960s casements without glazing bars, and the roof is half-hipped at the front.
Inside, there are no exposed carpentry details. The left room contains a stone fireplace with a plain oak lintel. The roof has not been inspected.
