Description
Combe House is a derelict farmhouse, likely built in the early to mid 18th century, with some alterations. It is constructed from roughly-coursed blue ragstone rubble, with some sandstone, sandstone quoins, and gritstone dressings, topped by a stone slate roof that is partly collapsed. The building has a shallow double-depth plan and stands two storeys high.
The front facade, which was once almost symmetrical with two windows, has suffered significant collapse on the left side. The ground floor features a gabled porch that is now roofless, with a square-headed doorway and a stone-slate drip-course above. There are remnants of a three-tier triangular pattern of pigeon holes above the doorway. The left side wall has mostly collapsed, exposing former mullions that have been re-used as through-stones. On the right side, each floor has a small rectangular window that was originally sashed but now lacks joinery.
The left gable wall, which is also partly collapsed, has two small chamfered one-light windows near the corners of the ground floor, along with prominent through-stones and one remaining chimney-corbel. An attic window, similar to those on the ground floor, is located at the rear. The rear of the building retains a complete set of mullioned windows with chamfered flush-mullions: three lights, two lights, and two lights at ground floor (with the first and second windows each having one blocked light); a two-light stair-window in the centre (lacking the mullion); and three widely-separated two-light windows at the first floor, with the left window lacking the mullion.
Inside, the former housepart is located to the left, with a parlour to the right and shallow service rooms to the rear, along with a former staircase between these areas. The surviving right-hand portion of the roof features 19th or 20th-century trusses, while the collapsed section had original 18th-century trusses. There are no other surviving features of interest. Combe House forms a group with a barn located approximately 50 meters to the south.
