Description
Little Combe Lancey is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages and is now a single house. It likely has a core dating back to the 16th century, with improvements made in the 17th century. The building was divided in the 19th century, then reunited and modernized in the mid-20th century. It features plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble or cob stacks topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof.
The house is a much-altered three-room-and-through-passage structure facing west, with a service room at the left (north) end. There is a 20th-century slate-roofed extension to the inner room. The building has end stacks for the service and inner rooms, as well as an axial hall stack that backs onto the former passage. The front has an irregular arrangement of five windows, which are all 20th-century casements. The door at the right end of the main house leads to the former inner room, situated behind a 20th-century porch. There is a central window to the left that blocks the former passage door. The roof is gable-ended.
Inside, there are exposed 17th-century features, including a chamfered crossbeam in the hall with unusual facetted stops, and in the service room, a chamfered crossbeam with straight cut stops along with the remains of a massive kitchen fireplace that has a chamfered oak lintel. The roof is currently inaccessible.
