Description

Lower North Coombe Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 16th century, with remodels occurring around the 16th to 17th centuries and again in the mid-19th century. It features rendered cob walls and an asbestos slate roof with gable ends. There is a brick chimney on the left gable end and an external stone lateral stack with four stages at the front middle; the lower stages are rendered, the third stage is made of stone rubble, and the top stage is brick.

The building has a three-room through-passage plan, plus a wing at the rear middle that connects to a farm building range on the right, which is positioned at right angles to the front right and may have had a semi-domestic function. It is two storeys high with an irregular four-window east front.

The original doorway is located to the right of the chimney breast and features an 18th-century, nine-panel door with six flush beaded panels and three glazed panels at the top. Above this doorway is an old three-light casement window with ten panes per light. To the right of the doorway is a 20th-century window in a 20th-century opening, followed by a three-light casement window with eight panes per light in an earlier opening. There is a similar window above and to the left of the chimney breast, as well as above 20th-century French windows in an altered opening to the far left, and a hornless twelve-pane sash window above that. A small fire window has been blocked in the angle between the chimney breast and the hall window. The eaves cornice is deeply coved and moulded.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain an old oak screen and a very old roof structure.
