Description

Glebe House is a house, originally a rectory, dating from around 1840 to 1850. It is built of plastered stone with a gable ended slate roof. There are four plastered gable stacks with tall 20th-century brick shafts, and one axial stack. The plan is double depth, including a service wing to the left. The layout features a central entrance passage with two principal rooms overlooking the garden, and smaller rooms to the left, extending to a small service wing.

The asymmetrical three-window entrance front has two large gables and a smaller one in between. The left-hand gable has an original two-light sash window with a square hoodmould, a similar window to its right, and a three-light window below. A central gabled porch features diagonal buttresses and a four-centred arched doorway with a panelled door. A recessed service wing on the left-hand end has a similar two-light window, without a hoodmould. The garden front is symmetrical with three windows, with the central section projecting slightly. The upper floor windows are two-light sashes, while the ground floor has canted four-light bay windows. The original glazed door, with gothic tracery, a square fanlight, and a hoodmould, is centrally positioned.

The interior appears largely complete, with the two principal rooms retaining original fireplaces featuring four-centre arched lintels and columns either side. Original joinery is likely to survive.
