Description

Coombe Hill Farm Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century, with a later addition from the late 18th to early 19th century, and a 19th-century extension on the right. The left bay is timber-framed with brick infill, and part of the left gable has been rebuilt using flint and brick. The central bay is constructed of flint with brick dressings and has been partly rebuilt in brick. These bays feature a half-hipped thatch roof and a brick chimney with a rebuilt shaft located to the right of the center. The brick bay on the left has a slate roof. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has 20th-century two and three-light barred wooden casements, with those in the upper floor of the left bays set in thatch. There is a small blocked 17th-century window on the ground floor of the left bay and a 20th-century door with a 20th-century gabled porch in the right bay. An outshot extends to the rear. Inside, there is a stop-chamfered spine beam and a chamfered fireplace lintel in the left bay, along with two staircases in the outshot.
