SITEDESC
The first Glebe Farm was located in the rectory grounds on the north side of Dairy Lane (NZ 3400 4976) and is shown on the OS first edition map of 1858. By 1890 Ordnance Survey second edition a new Glebe Farm and Dairy (hence Dairy Lane) had been built a short distance away on the south side of the lane. The buildings at the old farm became a school (HER 8752) and a clergy house (HER 7018). The barn/stables still survives (HER 15905) and the clergy house. Nothing survives of the second Glebe Farm, which is now part of the Houghton Kepier Sports College site.

Description
The listed building description was found to have wrongly named Newcombe and Newcombe as the architects. An historic buildings recording by URS in 2013 suggests the building was designed by Charles Septimus Errington. The main phase of construction dates to 1909 which opened as Tilley's Tearooms. The tearooms was actually a large recreational building containing ballrooms. However, by 1921 the Newcastle and Gateshead Gas Company had moved into the premises and began alterations - including the removal of first floor shops and small ballroom. In 1936 the building was extended. Plummer House was converted into offices in the 1960s. The main façade remains prominent in the streetscape and represents a good example of early 20th century classical detailing. LISTED GRADE 2
SITEASS
Gifford assessed the building in 2007 and described it as in a poor condition. It was given a BAR grading C (slow decay; no solution agreed).

Gifford appraised the building in 2007 and found that some internal original features survived including coffered ceilings, sprung dance floor and hard furnishings to offices. The 1936 extension was demolished in 2015 ahead of the construction of an 8storey replacement extension.

Description
This terrace was listed Grade II in 1987 with the following description:
'Terrace of houses. Late C18 or early C19. Brick, all but No. 34 stuccoed. Welsh slate roofs, Nos.46 and 50 felted over; brick chimneys. Each three storeys, two bays. Doors, some panelled, some flushed, some C20, mainly in pilaster-and-entablature doorcases, paired at party walls. Sash windows with glazing bars or margin lights. Some wedge stone lintels and stone sills. Nos.36 and 50 have C20 glazing, and several top windows have been altered. Venetian ground floor window to No. 52, which also has an open-segmental-pedimented doorcase. Small shop front inserted in No. 36. Nos. 32, 44 and 46 have flat-headed dormers inserted, Nos.38-44 undergoing restoration at time of survey.'
In 2013 No. 36 is Red Mezze. The other buildings are offices.
SITEASS
The architectural treatment of Nos. 18 to 52 Leazes Park Road is similar to the contemporary development of St. James Terrace if a little formal. The majority of the original residential frontages remain though somewhat altered. The buildings are three-storey, two-bay, brick faced with ashlar wedge lintels, sills and continuous first floor sill band. The door cases are mainly paired with a timber pilaster and entablature door surround with an adjacent single offset ground floor window. To date, commercial pressure has had limited adverse effect on altering the original ground floor openings. Although this format would have been commonplace in the city centre, this street now contains a limited vestige of this design, and is a rare survival. No. 52 has been successfully extended (No. 58) with a sympathetic traditional design, a dominant curved centre bay recessed between wide piers and relieved with niches {CA Character Statement}.

This terrace was listed Grade II in 1954 with the following description:
'8 houses, now 6 dwellings and office, No. 17 at right now subdivided. 1829-30, by Thomas Oliver, for Richard Grainger. Stucco except for rough render to Nos. 20 and 21; Welsh slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays originally to each house. Segmental-headed ground floor recesses contain 6-panelled doors, renewed except for Nos. 18, 20 and 21 and inserted in No. 16, with overlights, in plain reveals. Plain reveals to windows, many renewed; sashes with glazing bars to No. 18; projecting sills. Floor band. Entablature to 3 right and 2 left houses; gutter cornice; blocking course with left end panel: low-relief LEAZES CRESCENT.'
SITEASS
Short stucco terrace. A unique example of Regency style residences in Newcastle. Distinctive repetition of the curved segment motif - in the plan form of curved-end bays, the ground floor segmental head door and window recesses. The elevational treatment is otherwise quite plain. Continuously projecting first floor and cornice bands. Decorative frieze to the parapet of the west front. Some of the houses and gardens look neglected. Almost half of the gardens have been hard surfaced for car parking. All the original iron railings set on stone plinths have been removed and replaced by hedging, low brick walls or picket fencing. The concept of uniformity of the terraces has been diminished by the variation in the colour of the stucco, predominately pale beige, but a darker shade at the northern end and in some cases white. Crescent Place and Terrace Place to the rear of Leazes Crescent have been demolished and replaced by a variety of extensions {CA Character Statement, 2000}.
