Combe Grove Hotel

Combe Grove Hotel is a country house that has been converted into a hotel. It was built in the early to mid 18th century and altered around 1858 for the Vaughan-Jenkins family. The building is made of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof behind a parapet and a moulded cornice. It has two storeys, a basement, and attics with five dormers.

The garden elevation is divided into one: three: one bays, with quoins at the breaks. The central three bays are slightly advanced, and the middle bay features a full-height segmental bow with three windows. The wide glazing bar sash windows have segmental heads and are framed in roll moulded architraves. Small balconies project from the ground floor windows, and there is a plain band above the ground floor. A central glazed door is set in a projecting open porch supported by square columns, which has a dentilled cornice and a pierced parapet with arms. The door is accessed by a flight of 14 steps with an arcaded parapet on either side.

At the right end of the building, there is a single bay projecting wing topped with a pediment, and beyond it is a three-bay conservatory featuring large round-headed glazed windows, fluted pilasters, and keystones. The rear (entrance) elevation has been somewhat altered, with some 19th-century round-headed windows added. The central section projects further and has rusticated quoins at the breaks, topped by a pediment. It features a panelled and glazed door within a rusticated surround and a large fanlight above (with a later glazed porch). There is also a segmental-headed window in a lugged architrave with a keystone and a plain apron below the moulded cill. To the left, there is a two-bay projecting wing that is also surmounted by a pediment, featuring two glazing bar sash windows on the ground floor and a segmental-headed window on the first floor, framed in a moulded architrave with a plain apron.
