Description

Coombe Orchard is a detached cottage, likely built in the 18th century. It features rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, with a single stack at one end. The cottage is two storeys high and has a single-storey lean-to on the right end, constructed in matching materials. The entrance includes a ledged door. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with glazing bars, each set under flat stone arches. The first floor also has two similar windows, which are positioned under stone lintels.
