Cottage About 15 Metres South-East Of Higher Combe Farmhouse

This cottage, located about 15 meters southeast of Higher Combe Farmhouse, is likely from the 17th century and was used as a farm building until it was converted back to a cottage in the 20th century. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped at the south end. The north gable has a granite ashlar chimneystack with weatherings and a cap made of a projecting stone course, topped with a short, narrower shaft.

The cottage is two storeys high and has 20th-century small-paned wood casement windows, along with a 20th-century glazed door that has a pantiled hood above it. In the north gable, there is a 18th-century wood window with two lights, originally unglazed, each containing two diagonally-set vertical bars. On the west front, there is a small opening, now glazed, with a wooden lintel, which has a large granite feeding trough set into its bottom half. Although the interior was not inspected, it is known that the north ground-storey room has a large open fireplace.

The cottage is part of a notable group with two barns located on the south and west sides of the garden, which are separately listed, along with an ash house about 20 meters to the southwest. The farmhouse itself, which is not included in this listing, has undergone significant remodeling in the early 20th century, but retains two 16th or 17th-century granite ashlar chimneys with thatch weatherings and tapered caps on the ridge at the east end.
