Description

Glory Hill Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse built in a Tudoresque style, with extensions added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of flint with red brick quoins, dressings, a band, and gable parapets, topped with a slate roof. It has a T-plan layout, with the main front facing roughly west-north-west to east-south-east. The farmhouse is two storeys high and features gable parapets, stepped dressings, kneelers, and stacks that are corbelled out and slightly projecting on the first floor. There is a divided brick band above the ground floor.

The front has three windows and a central projecting two-and-a-half-storey porch topped with a gable. The gable has a parapet with brick kneelers and a small brick-dressed window. The windows are bipartite sashes with margin-lights, set in chamfered brick-dressed surrounds with gauged heads that are raised forward in two-storey panels on either side of the porch. The ground floor features margin-light windows on the sides of the porch. The entrance has a depressed arch with a gauged head leading to the main door behind it.

At the rear, there is a two-storey flint wing that matches the style of the main building, which has been extended by a lower brick wing featuring wooden casement windows. A lean-to entrance porch is located at the angle between the wing and the main block.
