Description

Smithcombe House is an early 18th-century house located on Cuttle Lane in Biddestone. It is constructed of squared rubble with a stone tiled roof, featuring coped gables, a saddlestone to the left, and a stack at the right end. The house is two stories high and has a three-window range of bead moulded stone mullion windows, with three 2-light windows on the upper floor and two 3-light windows on the lower floor. A continuous dripcourse runs along the building.

There is a central 20th-century stone porch with a hipped stone tile roof, which replaced a timber porch that also had a hipped roof. To the left of the main house, there is a rubble stone extension that is also two stories tall, with a stone tiled roof and a brick end wall stack on a stone base. This extension features a door and a 2-light mullion window below, with a 20th-century metal window above.

The extension was previously a bakehouse, and it includes a large bread oven that projects outward into an attached 'T'-plan left end extension, which is a single-story shed with wooden doors. At right angles to this is a rubble stone stable with a loft above, which has a door and window below and a plank door above. The roofs of these structures are pantiled. Additionally, there is a timber 20th-century lean-to garage at the left end. The deeds of the property are said to date from 1715.
