Yearles Coombe

Yearles Coombe is a house, probably from the 18th century, constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, with the rear elevation left unrendered and featuring unplastered cob. It has a roof made of corrugated iron and corrugated asbestos with gable ends, and the eaves of the roof have been raised four times, originally having a steep slope. There is a stone rubble chimney stack at the right gable end, which has a projection for a cloam oven, although the shaft has been removed. A second stone rubble chimney stack with a brick shaft is located at the lower left-hand gable end.

The house likely has a two-room plan with a 19th-century stair in a cross passage. The kitchen is situated on the right and is heated by the end stack, while the larger room, probably a parlour, is on the left and heated by the smaller end stack. The building is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical four-window front. On the ground floor, there is a two-light French window to the left beneath a wide timber lintel, and to the right of centre, there is a two-light casement with glazing bars and an entrance with a plank door, which has a chamfered lintel above with run-out stops. To the right, there is a 20th-century three-light casement beneath a slate hood. The first floor has four two-light casements, two of which are 19th-century with centre-hung lights, all set within segmental arches. The rear elevation displays unplastered cob on the first floor and shows no openings, although there is possible evidence of a blocked opening near the centre.

Inside, there are some chamfered ceiling beams, although several have been replaced in the mid-20th century. The screens of the cross passage have been removed, but there are several reused slight plank and muntin screens on the first floor. A deed dated 1674 in the County Record Office, Truro, refers to a new house, tucking mill, and land called Yearles Coombe.
