Glebe Farmhouse With Wash House

Glebe Farmhouse, with its wash house, is a late 17th to early 18th century farmhouse with a mid-18th century cottage extension, situated adjacent to the Village Hall in Little Rissington. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone with dressed stone quoins. It has a stone slate roof to the front, concrete tiles at the rear, and to the cottage extension. There’s an artificial stone stack to the main body, an ashlar stack to the cottage, and a red brick stack to the wash house.

The main farmhouse is rectangular, with the cottage extension to the right gable end and a wash house extension at a right angle to the rear. The main body presents a three-windowed facade. On the ground floor to the right is a single two-light stone-mullioned casement. To the left, there are two two-light casements with wooden mullions designed to resemble stone, set within the blocked remains of a former double-width doorway, which retains a large timber lintel. A small, blocked single-light window with a dressed stone surround sits between the ground and first floors, likely indicating the location of stairs. Above this is a larger double-chamfered single-light window with a stopped hood, and to the left, a two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement also with a stopped hood. Stone-mullioned casements are found at the rear. A single 19th-century three-light window is located in the upper left corner.

The cottage extension is one-and-a-half storeys high and features a two-windowed facade. A partly blocked two-light cellar window with a dressed stone surround is on the lower right. Above it is a three-light stone-mullioned window. A three-light wooden casement, with a timber lintel that aligns with the doorway, is to the left. There are two late 19th or early 20th century rendered eaves dormers. A late 19th or early 20th century plank door is positioned off-centre to the left, approached by four stone steps. Gable-end stacks are present. The ashlar stack retains its moulded capping. A bell for the Village Hall is situated at the left gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
