Church Farmhouse (also known as The Glebe)

This is a two-story farmhouse, originally dating back to the 16th century, later with additions and alterations. The farmhouse is characterised by its distinctive ochre-painted lime-rendered walls and a thatched roof with prominent eyebrows. An 18th-century bay extends slightly forward from the main front elevation and raises the eaves line. The building has three chimney stacks: two at the gable ends and one running centrally. The main entrance is an off-centre two-centred stone doorway with a new oak door. The front elevation features three four-paned casement windows on the first floor, stepping down to the right, all set beneath the thatched eyebrows, the one on the left being the most pronounced. A small, square-headed window with a chamfered stone frame and original ironwork (ferramenta) is centrally located. At ground floor level, there is a 16th-century three-light window with arched heads, diamond-leaded casements, sunk chamfered mullions, carved spandrels, and a straight hoodmould. The gable ends are without windows. A later, long, single-story lean-to addition extends along the rear elevation, featuring three four-paned casements and rooflights, with an additional casement at the east end.

The original layout of the ground floor is largely preserved, encompassing a hall at the west end and twin service rooms at the east end. Entry is gained through a cross passage, which retains dressed stone two-centred doorways on both the south and north elevations. The northern doorway is now internalised within a 19th-century lean-to extension and has a round head with a plain chamfer and cushion stops. The southern doorway is more acutely pointed. The cross passage has doorways leading to a buttery and pantry at the east end, and a third doorway at the north end, likely originally serving as a stairway to a solar (upper room) above the service rooms. The northern doorway is framed with plain dressed stone, while the buttery/pantry doorways have plain chamfers and cushion stops. A masonry partition, likely inserted in the 16th century when the hall was floored over, separates the cross passage from the former west hall. This partition contains a large open fire, served by an axial chimney stack with a chamfered timber bressumer (a beam above a fireplace) and an oven in the north jamb. A straight flight of stairs, probably dating to the mid-16th century, originally rose from the southeast corner of the west hall. It has now been replaced with timber and is lit by a re-set medieval rectangular window with original ferramenta. The west hall cell has a large, likely 18th or later, fire at the west end with an unfinished timber lintol. A fire at the east end has been blocked off from the hall and now opens into the cross passage. The hall ceiling retains three large chamfered and stopped 16th-century beams with exposed, restored joists. The south side of the hall is lit by a mid-16th-century three-light window with arched heads, hollow chamfers, and sunk spandrels.
