Toftcombs

Toftcombs is a house built around 1840, featuring a stucco exterior and a Welsh slate roof with ridge cresting. Designed in a picturesque Tudor gothic style, it stands two storeys high with an asymmetrical layout. The street-facing elevation has three irregular gables that project from parallel ranges to the east, with a recessed gable on the left that houses the entrance. The entrance consists of a panelled door with an overlight set within a 4-centred archway, which has a cross emblem above it. There is a flat-roofed 20th-century extension on the left-hand gable end, and above it is a two-light wood mullioned window. The first floor features two oriel windows in the right-hand advanced gables. The elevation facing the Esplanade includes a wide gable on the right and a two-bay range that ends in an octagonal turret. The left-hand range has paired 12-pane sash windows with a continuous hood mould above, while the gable features a canted bay window with gothic-style mullioned and transomed lights. The building has axial and end wall stacks topped with slim octagonal shafts.
