Description
Combe House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, with origins dating back to the early 17th century at the rear and primarily constructed around 1812. The building features coursed limestone rubble, dressed stone, and ashlar on the front, topped with gabled roofs made of stone slate and some Welsh slate. It has moulded Georgian-style stone ashlar stacks at the ends and laterally. The design follows an early 19th-century Tudor/Gothick Revival style and has a courtyard layout.
The house is two stories high with a three-window front. It includes 2-light stone-mullioned windows with cinquefoil heads and 4-pane sashes, as well as similar windows in a two-story canted bay on the left side. A label mould runs beneath the parapet, continuing as a string course. The right gable end features a similar bay window and an attached doorway. The right wing has a parapeted gable end with early 19th-century label moulds over two plank doors and early 19th-century mullioned windows. The left wing has segmental-arched stair windows and early 19th-century label moulds over 20th-century windows. The side wings are topped with crenellated parapets.
At the rear, the wing has crow-stepped gables and an early 19th-century two-centred arched doorway. There are hood moulds above a 17th-century five-light leaded stone-mullioned window and similar early 19th-century four-light windows. Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase to the left with stick balusters, Gothick plaster cornices, stone fireplaces, and panelled doors. The rear wing retains 17th-century chamfered beams and a collar-truss roof.
Additionally, there is an L-shaped wall attached to the rear left corner of the property, constructed of limestone rubble with ashlar coping, measuring approximately 27 by 87 metres.
