Description
Combe Bridge Cottage is a house, originally converted into a row of cottages and now returned to single occupancy. It dates to the early 17th century or possibly earlier, with later additions. The house is constructed of plastered stone rubble, with a thatched roof featuring gabled ends. The left-hand end of the front elevation projects slightly and has a slurried slate roof. The original plan likely comprised three rooms and a through-passage, with an axial hall stack and gable end stacks, which have been extended. A section of the front wall between the centre and left-hand stack has been built forward. The two-storey front has a six-window range, with small 19th-century two and three-light casement windows. Four porches are present, each with a side wall and a slurried slate lean-to roof; the right-hand porch has been altered to form a glazed bay window, and all have glazed doors. A rear outshut has a lean-to scantle slate roof. The interior, only partly inspected, features roughly hewn and chamfered ceiling beams. The roof space has not been inspected.
