Description

Combe End is a country house built around 1840. It features roughcast over rubble with Ham stone dressings, quoins, moulded string courses, and canted bay windows. The slate roofs are hipped with a coved cornice, topped with terracotta finials and brick stacks on the returns. The house has a double pile plan and stands three storeys high, with a façade consisting of two, three, and two bays. The central bay projects forward and is marked by quoins, while the outer bays have two-storey canted bay windows. All window openings have moulded surrounds and shallow brackets, with the upper storeys featuring twelve-pane sash windows and the ground floor having six three-pane sash windows. A central flat-roofed Doric porch is approached by a flight of four steps and has three-quarter glazed double doors with marginal glazing bars and a fanlight with radiating bars. The interior, which is partially visible, includes an acanthus leaf plaster cornice in the hall and a likely 20th-century staircase, along with simple moulded cornices in other ground floor rooms.
