3/64 The Glebe Country House (formerly - listed as Glebe House) 30-5-67 GV II

Rectory, now restaurant and guest house. Circa early-mid C18, possibly incorporating part of earlier house, extended C18-C19. Slatestone rubble walls. Slate hung to east front. Hipped, double span scantle slate roof, steep with sprocketted eaves to east (earlier) part with brick chimneys over side walls linked to main roof by small gable roofs. Rear lateral stack, left. Hipped roof to west is lower pitch. Originally rectangular ground floor plan of central vestibule and stair, one room rear service wing, later incorporated into 2 room rear parallel range. Symmetrical 5 window east front. Central doorway approached by flight of granite steps with nosings. Flat-headed wooden doorcase with ordered architrave and simple entablature with dentils. Wide, top glazed door with overlight. Late C19 ground floor sashes with pointed-arched lights. 18 paned sashes mostly early C19 without horns to first floor. Cast iron, ogee eaves gutter with lions heads, 3 roof dormers with 12 pane horned sashes and pedimented gables. North wall has nearly central entrance with 6 panel door (now partly glazed) and spoked fanlight. 12 pane, 2 light casements to basement of earlier part left, blocked window opening to ground floor left and C18, 12-pane sash with wide glazing bars to first floor. Interior has much original detail including open well open string turned baluster stair with ramped handrail; fielded dado panelling to vestibule, stair and small parlour left; full height panelling to room right, some moulded ceiling cornices; 2-panel doors; recesses in basement (possibly for wine storage). Pine roof structure with slender collars morticed into heavy square section principal rafters with stepped purlin mortices. Rear, early C19 addition has ground floor room with plaster ceiling band and cornice, also moulded cornice to rear vestibule. In 26th April 1727 Glebe Terriers description reads: 'House, partly stone, partly mud, covered with thatch; a hall floored with boards and ceiled, a parlour, not ceiled floored with lime, a small chamber above and a dairy adjoining; a little buttery adjoining the hall; a kitchen floored with stone; a chamber over the entry and 3 chambers (over cellars and woodhouses) all ceiled.' Clearly not a description of the present house which was presumably built soon afterwards.
