The Property

Glebe Farm House is an exceptional Georgian residence dating back to 1793, positioned within the conservation area of the desirable village of Leire. This six-bedroom detached home has been meticulously restored and extended, creating a refined balance between period architecture and contemporary living. The classic red-brick façade, slate roof and symmetrical bays immediately establish its heritage credentials, while carefully specified modern upgrades elevate the home to a thoroughly luxurious standard. Accoya sash windows, installed in 2024, faithfully replicate the original design while offering enhanced insulation and soundproofing. A solid oak front door opens into interiors of impressive scale and finish.

Across three storeys, the house offers four beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each showcasing original features including exposed beams, reclaimed fireplaces and bespoke joinery. Formal sitting rooms provide elegant spaces for entertaining or working from home, while a library with floor-to-ceiling oak shelving and a log burner opens onto a private courtyard, offering a more relaxed retreat.

At the heart of the home lies an expansive modern living space, added in 2005, seamlessly connecting kitchen, dining and living areas. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this light-filled suite features vaulted ceilings with skylights and a striking full-height glazed wall framing views of the gardens beyond. Bespoke Mark Wilkinson cabinetry, river slate stone flooring with underfloor heating create a calm, cohesive aesthetic throughout.

The kitchen is centred around a substantial island with Belfast sink and Quooker tap, complemented by a gas-fired Aga, electric companion oven, induction hob and integrated Miele appliances. An illuminated cocktail bar with fridge, integrated sound system and bespoke open fireplace in reclaimed granite complete this impressive living space.

The upper floors provide six generously proportioned bedrooms; three with bespoke storage and period detailing. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes, a dressing area, exposed beams and a Victorian fireplace. Bathrooms are finished to a high standard with natural stone, underfloor heating and elegant fixtures.

Throughout, the house conveys a sense of understated opulence — thoughtfully designed, immaculately presented and entirely ready for modern life.

Outside

Glebe Farm House is set within over three-quarters of an acre of landscaped grounds, offering privacy, security and a series of beautifully composed outdoor spaces. Automated metal gates open onto a private driveway laid with reclaimed granite setts, leading to ample parking, garage and workshop facilities. The gardens have been meticulously designed and maintained, with expansive lawns, mature trees, flowering borders and secluded courtyards providing interest and tranquillity throughout the seasons. Walled boundaries and established hedging ensure a high degree of privacy.

A standout feature is the 22-metre heated swimming pool, designed for year-round use. Enclosed by a solar-powered, retractable structure, the pool offers an indoor–outdoor experience with dedicated changing facilities, underfloor heating and travertine finishes. The surrounding courtyard provides an elegant setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.

Additional features include a Georgian-style Alitex orangery, ideal for horticultural enthusiasts, and a striking French oak pergola with integrated lighting and fire pit, overlooking open countryside. Workshops, stables, tool sheds and a garage provide excellent storage and practical space, all finished to a high standard.

The grounds mirror the house itself — carefully curated, highly functional and undeniably impressive.
