The Glebe House

The Glebe House is a house, formerly a vicarage, dating to around 1865 and designed by Sir Gilbert Scott. It is constructed of witchert (a type of timber framing using wattle and daub), with roughcast and colourwashed surfaces on a rubblestone plinth, and has cement dressings. The roof is covered in old tiles.

The main front of the house has three bays on the entrance front and two storeys, with service ranges to the left. The centre bay projects forward and contains a doorway with a centred arch and a gable above. There is a transom window above the doorway, and a cross window on the upper floor. The windows have ovolo moulded frames and mullions. The outer bays feature three-light mullioned and transomed windows, with two-light windows on the upper floor. All windows are set within cement architraves. Gabled windows are present on the upper floor. Projecting eaves display cut modillion brackets. Brick stacks with diamond flues are visible, with two stacks to the left of the house and a three-flue stack behind the right-hand bay.

The garden front has two bays, the left of which is gabled and projects, and shares a similar window arrangement to the front. Two-bay service buildings are located to the left of the main front, with two gables. The house represents an interesting example of Scott incorporating local materials into his designs; this work is documented in his publication "Domestic and Secular Architecture," page 140.
