Description
Glebe Court is a circa 1783 rectory, later converted into a dwelling. The building was altered in the mid-19th century and the early 20th century. It is constructed with rendered rubble, painted rubble, and brick service wings, and has a mansard slate roof with coped verges to the gabled north elevation. A bead moulded cornice runs along the top, and there are brick stacks on the north front and northwest wing.
The east front of the building has two storeys and an attic, with a 1:3 bay arrangement. It features three square-headed dormer sash windows, a lower, independently roofed hipped service wing to the left, and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor above a central entrance. The entrance has a 20th-century door and an early 20th-century flat-roofed wooden pentice porch supported by shaped console brackets with pilasters and swags in the frieze. The south front is four bays wide and features mid-19th-century blind boxes to the ground-floor sash windows, which lack glazing bars. A one-bay northwest wing abuts the south front, with a hipped roof and brick stack. First-floor windows have 12 panes, while the ground-floor windows have 15 panes. The west front has a 5:1 bay arrangement.
The interior has not been recorded, but the ground-floor windows have panelled shutters. The building was originally constructed as the rectory around 1783 and was sold 150 years later, after which the building formerly known as Court House became the rectory.
