Description
Glebe Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that was altered in the early 19th century. It has been rebuilt using red and vitreous brick and features a half-hipped thatch roof with a central chimney that has two separate square brick shafts sharing a single offset head. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and consists of two bays.
The front of the house includes a three-light barred wooden casement window and a door on the ground floor to the left, a 20th-century canted bay window with leaded lights and a thatch roof to the right, and two paired barred wooden casements in thatch. There is also a window with a chequered segmental head at the rear, along with a small 20th-century extension to the rear of the left bay.
Inside, the cottage features stop-chamfered spine beams, two winder staircases, and queen strut trusses. The right bay contains some stop-chamfered joists, an upstairs fireplace, and curved wind-braces.
