Description

Comberton Farmhouse is a timber-frame farmhouse dating to the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with a later 18th-century remodelling and some restoration work in the 1980s. It has a slate roof and rendered infill panels. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a cross-wing projecting to the south and another range offset to the east. A lobby entrance is positioned against a stack in the middle of the east range.

The north front has two storeys with a gable-lit attic to the cross-wing. The first floor has six windows: two 3-light casements to the left, a fixed casement, and two 4-light casements. The ground floor has five windows: two 3-light casements and three 4-light casements. The cross-wing has a rubble underbuild, while the bay nearest the end of the other range is jettied on scroll brackets. The entrance, to the right of centre in the subsidiary range, is protected by a shallow-pitched gabled canopy made of plain wooden posts and has a 6-panel door.

The timber framing is five square panels high, and the cross-wing gable features a slightly projecting tie-beam with two collars and vertical struts. The interior of the cross-wing includes traces of floral wall-paintings in the north room on the first floor, along with several triangular doorheads and exposed chamfered and stopped-ceiling beams with run-out stops.
