Description
Coombe Farm and Coombe Farm Cottage is a pair of houses that originated from a farmhouse, with a 19th-century facade added to an 18th-century or earlier structure. The building features red and grey brick in English bond, with the front elevation rendered. The 18th-century range runs parallel to the road, with a wing extending north from the center and returning to the east, which adjoins the main range but extends further east. The west side of the wing and the west gable end form the current front elevation. The building has two storeys and includes a dentilled brick eaves cornice on the north and east sides, along with a rendered eaves band on the west. The roof of the north wing is hipped to the north and half-hipped to the east. The east and west ends of the main range are also half-hipped.
The east return wing has a ridge stack towards the west end and a projecting brick gable-end stack to the east. The long south side of the main range, facing the road, is dominated by two projecting stacks made of roughly coursed and galleted flint and sandstone, featuring stone quoins at the base and brick dressings above, with steep, asymmetrical tiled shoulders. The fenestration on the west side is irregular, consisting of three windows: one recessed four-pane sash in the wing, another in the projecting gable end of the main range, and a two-light casement above the wing door. There is a half-glazed door to the wing located in a rendered porch at the junction with the main range, and another half-glazed door leading up four steps to the front gable end of the main range. The interior has not been inspected.
