Description

Glebe Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse, with extensions dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is built of limestone rubble, with some coursed and squared limestone to the left extension. The roof is clad in stone slate to the front and concrete tile at the rear. Ashlar stacks are present. The building has a rectangular plan, with extensions to each gable end, and a rear extension of concrete block which is not of special architectural interest.

The main, mid-17th century range, including the later extension, is two storeys and an attic, lit by two 20th-century two-light dormers. The front facade has a five-window arrangement, featuring single-light, two-light, and three-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement windows. The casement above the front door has a hollow-chamfered stone mullion. A central 20th-century studded plank door is sheltered by a flat stone canopy with a moulded margin, supported on moulded brackets.

A single-bay extension from the late 18th century is located to the left, and is 1½ storeys high, with a 20th-century slate-hung dormer at eaves. It features a two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement on the ground floor. The rear of the main body has a single-light window which may have served as a fire window, and one two-light and one four-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casements, both with stopped hoods. A blocked doorway at first floor level on the rear right suggests that this part of the building may have once been used for storage.

Gable and axial stacks are present on the main body, with the left gable end stack featuring a moulded capping and skirting. The right gable end stack has a flat chamfered capping and skirting. Only the stump remains of a former axial stack. The left gable end has saddleback coping and moulded kneelers. The interior includes a large open fireplace with a wooden bressumer.
