Description
Glebelands is a former rectory built around 1840. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and features a hipped slate roof with boxed eaves, along with a stack at the right end. The building has a U-shaped plan with two projecting wings at the rear and service rooms located at the left end. It stands two storeys tall and has five bays. The upper storey contains 16-paned sash windows, while the left end has a 20th-century window, and there are two sashes to the left and a taller sash to the right of a Tuscan porch. The entrance features an ovolo-moulded door architrave and a four-panelled door, with the upper panels being glazed. Inside, the principal rooms retain moulded plaster cornices, and there is one marble chimneypiece in the room at the right end, although the rest of the interior has been altered in the 20th century.
