Glebe House

Glebe House is a farmhouse located in Thornton in Lonsdale, dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from limewashed rubble with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays. The entrance, positioned to the right of centre, has a plain lintel and a slate hood, with a door that dates from around 1980. The ground floor windows on either side of the entrance have plain surrounds and consist of 16-pane casements. On the upper floor, there are windows that were once double chamfered mullioned, although the mullion is now missing. There is one 6-pane fixed light and two additional windows with plain surrounds, which are sashes with glazing bars. The house has a massive projecting gable end ridge stack on the left-hand side, with a smaller ridge stack on the right-hand side, located at what was the former right-hand gable, now at the junction with an outbuilding that has an entrance on the right and one window on each floor. The interior is not accessible. The building is included for its group value.
