The Glebe House

The Glebe House is a large detached former vicarage, now a house, built around 1844 with later additions in the 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar limestone with ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. The building is two stories high and has an L-plan layout, featuring a long two-story wing on the west side with a two-story terminal block. Designed in the Tudor Gothic style, the east front is symmetrical with three windows. The outer windows are two-story rectangular bay windows with mullions and transoms, featuring Tudor arched lights, situated beneath two gables topped with octagonal finials. A central projecting two-story porch has a moulded Tudor archway with a hoodmould, and a mullioned and transomed casement window above. Continuous moulded bands run along the facade, and there are carved quatrefoil panels with shield motifs on each gable.

On the south side, there are three windows, all mullioned and transomed with Tudor arched lights, and a two-story rectangular bay window on the left with a gable above. The west side features a gable end on the right with similar fenestration, and a stair window below the gable leading to a recessed center. The left gable has a cluster of three octagonal moulded chimney shafts, with a long wing attached below that has two-light mullioned casements. The terminal block also has two-light mullioned casements and three octagonal chimney shafts on the gabled end of the south parapet.

Inside, there is a stone cantilevered open well staircase in the stair hall, and a moulded four-centred archway that separates the stair from the outer hall. This large vicarage was likely built by Lord Sherborne and may have been designed by Anthony Salvin, who had been working at Sherborne Park since 1841. The building shows stylistic similarities to Scotney Castle in Kent, also designed by Salvin.
