Glebe House

Glebe House is a house that was formerly a rectory, dating from the 17th century, with significant rebuilding and extension in 1855. It is constructed of stone rubble and features slate roofs, with brick stacks at each gable end. The main range, designed in a Gothic style from the 19th century, faces south and has an asymmetrical facade with an off-centre two-storey porch. At the rear, there is a 17th-century right-angled projection that has been heightened, mostly refenestrated, and further extended to the north in the 19th century. The house is two storeys high with a four-window range, featuring three gabled dormers with carved bargeboards, and a two-storey porch window with a hoodmould, each adorned with heraldic shields in the gables. The shield above the porch is dated 1855 and includes the initials HPA. All windows are timber sashes with large single panes and thick meeting rails, while the ground floor windows have stone hoodmoulds. The porch has a segmental arched doorway with a two-leaf plank door and a stone hoodmould with returned ends. Inside, there is a half-glazed two-panelled inner door with a shallow pointed arch. The 17th-century range retains a two-light chamfered mullion window on the north side and a 17th-century plank door with moulded cover strips beneath a slated lean-to canopy on the west side. The interior features intact 19th-century fittings, with the principal room to the left of the entrance hall showcasing a foliated plaster cornice and 19th-century naturalistic painted scenes on the four-panelled door. The geometrical staircase is enhanced by barley sugar balusters.
