Description
Glebelands Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was once a rectory, dating from the 17th century with possibly earlier origins, and featuring additions from the 18th century and early 20th century. The building is constructed of whitewashed rendered stone rubble and has a slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gable-ended to the right. It likely originally had a three-room through-passage plan, but the upper end was rebuilt, extended, and heightened in the 18th century, with an additional short range added to the rear left side in the early 20th century, running parallel to the main range. There are also two short right-angled extensions to the front left side and rear right side.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and features a four-window range. The two windows on the left side of the lower range are 19th or early 20th century three-light and two-light casements above a canted bay window with a slate roof. To the left, there is a six-panelled door with a shallow latticed wooden porch. The right side has two full-height two-storey bay windows with hipped roofs topped with a crested centre ridge tile. Each floor has triple sash windows and single sidelight sashes. There is also an early plank door with moulded cover strips at the left end.
Inside, there is a single roughly hewn beam in the room to the left of the through-passage. A possible single early truss with curved feet is located in an inaccessible part of the roof space over the lower end, while the other roof timbers have been replaced. The staircase features barley sugar balusters in the balustrade at the head, along with a moulded handrail, but lacks balusters.
