Description

The Glebehouse, formerly known as the Old Vicarage, is a house that was originally the vicarage. It dates from the early 19th century, with a 18th-century range at the rear. The front part of the house features slate hanging and rusticated granite quoins. It has an asbestos slate hipped roof with wide bracketed eaves and is two storeys tall with five bays. The windows are sash without glazing bars, except for a central first-floor 2-light sash that includes glazing bars. The central doorway is flanked by fluted pilasters and has an entablature, panelled reveals, and a semi-circular fanlight, although the original pediment has been replaced by a 20th-century hood. The door itself is glazed and dates from the 19th or 20th century. At the rear, the original 18th-century house runs parallel to the front and is stuccoed with slate hung ends and a half-hipped roof. It also has two storeys and an attic, with sash windows and casements, and rendered chimney stacks at the gable ends.
