Description
Glebe House is a detached red brick house, built in the early 19th century. The brickwork of the first floor is a slightly different colour to that below, with decorative brick eaves and a slate roof. A red brick stack is located at the south end. The house has two storeys and an attic, originally with three bays, featuring cambered-headed iron windows with small panes set close to the wall. The central bay is slightly off-centre, with a gabled dormer window above and an iron casement window below. The first-floor windows have Gothic detailing at the tops of the panes. The ground floor has a similar window to the right, a narrow two-light window to the right again, and a 20th-century timber cross-window to the left. A large, later 20th-century porch has replaced an earlier 19th-century trellised wooden porch; it features a pedimental gable, a copper roof, stuccoed pilasters and a cross window to the front, with a doorway on the south side. Inside, an early 19th-century flush-panelled door has four panes of glass at the top.
The south end of the wall has a cambered-headed casement pair on the first floor and two small attic windows with tripartite iron glazing, incorporating Gothic intersecting bars. To the right is a lower, two-storey service range with dentilled eaves, a slate roof and a thin red brick north end stack. The first floor of the service range has a cross window with Gothic top panes and the ground floor has two small-paned casement pairs, all with cambered brick heads. A porch is set back on the right-hand end wall.
At the rear, a left-hand stone stair gable has an arched brick head above a long stair window with two transoms and some leaded lights, with the lower lights blanked. An additional three-storey wing has been added to the right, constructed of brick with 20th-century metal windows on the ground floor and cambered-headed windows on the upper floors. A large brick lean-to has been built on the north side of the stair gable.
The front garden has a rubble stone retaining wall that rises with the slope to the north, topped with large coping stones and 19th-century iron railings with dog bars and urn finials on the standards. A short return wall on the south side leads to a narrow stone gate post supporting a 19th-century iron gate with dog bars, two strengthening hoops stacked above each other and a more modern post to the left.
Inside, a ceiling beam in the hall has been strengthened with a girder and the joists are covered. There is an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters. A central chimney breast has had its stack removed, and four roof trusses contain inset timber-framed partitions; the second partition from the south likely extends down to the floor below.
