Description
Glebe House is a former manse built between 1804 and 1806, with a later extension added in the 19th century. This two-storey, three-bay building has a square plan and features a central door framed by pilasters and a corniced architrave, which encloses a rectangular light above the timber-panelled door. Access is via two stone steps. The front elevation is constructed from coursed pink sandstone rubble, while the rear is made of snecked pink sandstone rubble, both featuring raised polished and droved ashlar sills and quoins. The front elevation also has a moulded eaves course.
The windows are timber sash and case, primarily with 12-pane glazing, although the larger windows at the rear have 4 panes, and the smaller windows have 8 panes. The building has ashlar-coped skews and wallhead stacks that have been heightened in brick with buff clay cans. The roof is covered with purple-grey slate and includes three rooflights on the front. Rainwater goods are a mix of cast-iron and plastic, with a decorative cast-iron hopper on the west front.
Inside, there is a small entrance hall leading to a central hallway that features a wooden balustraded staircase, likely a later addition. The southeast drawing room has an arched alcove. Throughout the house, there are timber-panelled doors, with six panels in the front part built in 1804-06 and four panels in the rear part added in the later 19th century. The interior also includes working timber shutters and simple cornicing.
Adjacent to the house is a single-storey H-plan steading and stable range, contemporary with the house, connected by a later single-storey flat-roofed extension. This structure is built from random rubble with red sandstone dressings and features symmetrical gables on both the north and south elevations, each with an attic-level oculus on the south side. The central sections have asymmetrical openings, including several timber-boarded doors. The floor is made of stone, and the ridge roof has modern asbestos cladding.
Surrounding the property are random rubble boundary walls with curved rubble coping, enclosing the area in front of the house and stables. There are corniced, pyramidal-capped grey ashlar gatepiers, with a second gatepier obscured by ivy as of 2007. The entrance features two-leaf cast-iron gates adorned with foliate finials.
