Description

Wood Lea and Coombe View is a pair of houses located in Hambleden. The rear section dates from the 17th century, while the front features two bays from the mid to late 18th century and an early 19th-century bay on the right. The front range is constructed of brick, with the left bays made of red and vitreous brick that have coved eaves, and the right bay displaying dentil brick eaves. The side walls are rendered, and the rear range is mostly rendered and colorwashed, with some timber framing visible in the upper walls. The roofs are covered with old tiles; the front range has a hipped roof on the left with flanking brick chimneys, while the rear range has a gabled roof with a brick chimney situated between the northern bays. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays. The windows are 20th-century paired barred wooden casements, with those on the ground floor left featuring gauged heads. There is a similar window on the first floor between the left bays, positioned above a 20th-century door that has a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. There is also a matching door to the left of the right bay.
