Description

Coombe Cottages is a former farmhouse, now divided into two cottages, located in Bigbury. It is likely from the 18th century or earlier. The building is constructed of rendered cob or rubble, with exposed rubble at the back and a corrugated asbestos-cement roof. It consists of two sections, with the smaller left half having a slightly shallower roof pitch and a lower gabled wing at the back.

The cottages are two storeys tall with irregular window arrangements. No. 1 features a small two-light casement window on the far left, followed by another similar window beneath a two-light window at the eaves. There is a wide blank section of wall leading to a wide plank door, which is sheltered by a small slated hood and is located beneath a two-light window with glazing bars. No. 2 has a small 19th-century two-light window without bars on the ground floor, alongside a 20th-century casement window flanking a 20th-century gabled porch supported by wooden posts, which leads to a panelled door. On the first floor, there is a two-light window with glazing bars and a 20th-century casement; the right-hand part may be an added section under a hipped roof. A large ridge stack is positioned at the point where the roof pitch changes, on the left side and at the former right gable. The back of the building features a gabled wing at the right end, with various two-light casements and a stair window near the left end.
