Coombe Farmhouse

Coombe Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed from slatestone rubble with slate roofs. It likely started as a symmetrical block featuring a central two-storey porch, with a kitchen wing on the left and a longer wing added on the right. The building has two storeys and a cellar. The front elevation includes three-light wood casements set beneath chamfered wood lintels, which are supported by stopped stone drips and slate cills. These flank the porch, which features a similar two-light window above a flat-arched voussoir arch leading to a modern glazed door. The porch and gable ends are accented with alternating rusticated quoins made from thin-bedded stone, and there is a gable stack on the right side.

On the left side, there is a three-light window with a stone drip at each level within the gable that also has quoins. The set-back kitchen wing has similar three-light windows at both levels. The front windows retain decorative geometrical leading, including a single light in the kitchen wing. The right side has a plain gable with an extended wing, featuring two two-light horizontal bar casements at the ground floor and two two-light glazing bar windows at the first floor. The back of the house opens into a deep courtyard and includes a two-light window with leading in the back wall. The wings end in gables, with a large external stack on the kitchen wing and another stack at the junction with the front block, just below the ridge height.

The interior has been partially inspected and features a wide central hall with a flagstone floor and a stick stair. The front windows are fitted with shutters, and two front rooms have replaced fireplaces. The layout and the use of moulded dripstones over the windows suggest that the house may have origins as an early 18th-century structure, but the details throughout appear to be 19th-century, indicating it may have been built on the site of an earlier house. A complete internal inspection would be necessary for a full interpretation.
