Coombe Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, this is a two-bay end-chimney-stack house, extended by one bay to the west and later partially refenestrated. The construction is red brick, with English bond on the east side and Sussex bond on the west side. It has a tiled roof with brick chimneystacks at each end. The west side of the building is tile hung. The farmhouse is two storeys high with three windows. The eastern part features casements with cambered openings on the ground floor, and a cambered doorcase containing a four-panelled door. Above the doorcase is a blocked window opening, likely blocked in the early 19th century. The western bay incorporates early 19th-century eight-pane sashes. The east side has an external brick stack with a blocked small cambered opening at a low level, and a lean-to porch. A brick lean-to has been added to the rear. Internally, there is an open fireplace with a bressumer and an exposed axial beam in the ground floor west room. A rear west room has a timber-framed wall with diagonal braces, a tiled floor, and an axial beam. The kitchen to the south contains a brick floor and three plank doors, one of which dates to the 17th century and retains pintle hinges.
