Read the whole record

Detached five-bay two-storey over basement glebe house, built 1773, having recent gabled porch to front elevation. Now in use as private house. Pitched replacement slate roof, having stout rendered chimneystacks to gable ends, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with rendered plinth course, with render quoins to front elevation. Square-headed replacement uPVC windows throughout. Entrance approached by four paved steps, inner doorway having segmental-headed opening. Basement area now filled in to front. Yard of nineteenth-century multiple-bay single-storey and two-storey outbuildings to rear, latter having breakfront to middle of main facade. Hipped corrugated-iron roof to two-storey building having some cast-iron rainwater goods, lean-to roof to single-storey outbuilding. Square-headed window and door openings with timber fittings. Located on height to west of Saint Patrick's Church of Ireland church, Tullycorbet.

This former glebe house has social and historic interest as the ecclesiastical residence for the Church of Ireland clergy of Tullycorbet, and forms part of a group of church related buildings with nearby Saint Patrick's Church, the latter built in 1831 and now in ruins. Lewis, in 1837, records that the glebe house, erected in 1773 on 42 acres, was in a dilapidated state. It is possible that this building represents the 1773 glebe house, having been repaired in the early nineteenth century. The basement area has since been filled in. Set in its own grounds, the former glebe house is prominently located on a hill, and is bounded to the east by recently erected wall, gate piers and railings. Despite having its original windows, porch and doors replaced with modern uPVC fittings, this attractive former glebe house retains its ordered eighteenth-century form and character.
