JACOBSTOWE SS 50 SE 7/155 Coombe Farmhouse and adjoining - outbuildings to north-west and - south-east II

Farmhouse and adjoining outbuildings. Circa early to mid C17, extended in C18 and late C19. Plastered cob, left-hand of front refaced in stone rubble and stone rubble extension to rear wing. Thatched roof with gabled ends, the rear wing has a half-hipped end. The rear slopes of the main range roof and the roofs of the lower outbuildings to left and right are clad in corrugated iron. Plan: the 2-room plan main range is the original early to mid C17 house. The larger right-hand room at the lower end was the hall/kitchen heated from a large gable end stack. The smaller left-hand room is unheated. There was probably originally a cross- or through-passage between the two rooms, the front doorway of which is in a slight projection and now has a porch added probably in the C18. The lower right-hand side partition of the passage has been removed, a lobby formed inside the front doorway and a straight staircase inserted at the back of the left- hand room. These alterations may have been carried out in the C18 which is probably when the unheated rear wing was built to the left of centre, or alternatively when the rear wing was extended at the back in the C19. The outbuildings at either end of the main range are probably C18 additions, that to the left is single storey and the outbuilding to the right has a loft above. Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-bay front with asymmetrical fenestration. The centre bay projects slightly and has a gabled half-dormer above with C19 or earlier shaped bargeboards and a C17 3-light first floor window with an ovolo-moulded wooden frame and mullions. The central doorway in the projection has a C19 plank door and a circa C18 rendered gabled porch with a bench inside to the left. The other windows at the front are C19, 1-, 2 and 3-light casements with glazing bars, one on each floor to the left and one on the ground floor to the right. To the right of the front the slight projection is probably an oven. The single storey cob outbuilding to the left has a corrugated iron roof with a rebuilt concrete block gable end and a doorway at the front with an old plank door. The outbuilding to the right is one storey with a loft and has a corrugated iron gable-ended roof and a ground floor doorway at the front with a loft doorway above with an old plank door. At the back mostly late C19 and/or C20 casements. The rear wing to right of centre has been extended in stone rubble and has a half-hipped thatched roof. Interior was seen only from the windows. The right-hand room has a chamfered main cross-beam with step stops and a small axial beam, also with step stops from the cross-beam to the fireplace lintel which also has step stops; the large fireplace has an oven. The chamfered half-beams at either end of the right-hand room appear to have similar stops. The smaller unheated left-hand room has a chamfered axial beam. The first floor was not inspected and the roof structure of the main range was not seen. The rear wing has straight principal rafters.
