Description
Detached three-bay two-storey glebe house with basement, c.1800, with lean-to extensions to rear and conservatory to southwest gable. Now in use as private house. Hipped slate roof with wide bracketed eaves, brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Exposed snecked limestone walls having red brick dressings to openings. Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and cut-stone sills. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door and cobweb fanlight flanked by engaged Doric columns.
Appraisal
This former glebe house is representative of the scale and quality of the purpose-built housing that was provided for Church of Ireland clergy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and fine doorcase.
