Description
Combe Barton Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse located in Shobrooke. It features plastered cob walls on the first floor with a brick-nogged pine frame above, rendered brick stacks, and a slate roof. The building has a long main block facing south and a gabled rear block that is set at right angles and cut into the hillside. It is two storeys high throughout. The front block has six windows and a main door positioned to the left of centre. This door is a six-panel design with a rectangular fanlight that has a central bar and margin glazing bars, set within a pine doorcase that includes pilasters and an entablature with centered sides. The pilasters are decorated with broad, beaded flutes and honeysuckle capitals. To the right of the main door is a secondary six-panel door with a plain rectangular fanlight above it. The windows above the doors are timber sashes with six panes each, while the remaining ground floor windows are timber sashes with eight panes each and horns. There is a cob garden wall adjoining the right end of the farmhouse, which includes a stone mounting block on the outside. The interior has not been inspected.
