Glebe Farmhouse

Glebe Farmhouse is a 17th-century building with a T-shaped layout formed by the hall and solar ranges. The solar range has a later extension to the west, which connects to farm buildings, creating a sunken domestic yard that is separated from the farm access road by a retaining wall and steps.

The north/south hall range is constructed of stone, rendered and whitened, with a slate roof and a tile ridge. The elevation facing the road features four modern windows above and three modern windows plus two doors below. There is a small mid-chimney and a large end-chimney at the north gable, which has the exterior projections of two bread ovens.

The east/west former solar range has higher eaves and is also rendered and whitened, except on the south side. All the windows have been modernised. The south elevation has a prominent large chimney that stands on three moulded corbels at first floor level. This chimney reduces in size slightly at the eaves and changes from square to octagonal about a metre above the eaves, with the octagonal section being approximately three metres tall. The top of the chimney is roughly repaired and carries a modern chimneypot.

Inside, the original five-bay roof structure of the hall range is smoke-blackened and features cambered and chamfered high collars, along with decorative carved elements on the exposed ends of the principals, making it a remarkable medieval survival. The internal hood of the medieval solar fireplace in the south wall is still intact, supported by a bressummer on two billet corbels, each with a small candle-shelf. Additionally, a medieval stone staircase in an outshut on the west side connects the former solar to the end of the former hall. The staircase enclosure includes stone archways and a stone ceiling that runs parallel to the stairs.
