Glebe Farmhouse

Glebe Farmhouse is an early 18th-century house, originally a farmhouse. The front facade is of colourwashed brick, while the rear is of flint and brick. It has a thatched roof. A brick plinth runs along the front. The east facade has two storeys. A double, hollow-chamfered arched doorway is located to the right of centre, with the mouldings fading into chamfered jambs. To the left and right of the door are 18th-century casement windows set under segmental arches with glazing bars. Three smaller 18th-century casements are under the eaves. The gabled roof has internal gable end stacks. The rear elevation has numerous blocked openings, and the wall has been re-opened to accommodate five 20th-century windows and one door, disregarding any original symmetry. A 19th-century kitchen outshut is against the north gable, and behind this is a second arched brick doorway. Inside, the sitting room has sunk quadrant bridging beams. The first-floor partitions are timber studwork. The roof structure consists of two tiers of taper-tenoned butt purlins, collars and tie beams. The arched doorways are possibly re-used or, more probably, an archaic survival.
