Full description
Royal Commission for the Historical Monuments of England, 1987-1993, Duchy Farms Project Survey Visit, S. Probert (Report - Survey). SDV350839.
(17/08/1990) Centred SX 6833 8713. The farm buildings at West Coombe.
The farm's core possesses a range of largely unaltered buildings. Each structure has a clearly defined use and as a whole they probably represent a model farm. The Tithe map of 1841 depicts four buildings of which only the farmhouse and part of the cart shed S of the yard still exist. The majority of the buildings were constructed between the time of the Tithe survey and 1884 maps.
The buildings lie in four distinct blocks:
B) The western side of the yard is dominated by a two storey structure containing a cart shed, workshops and a cider press on the ground floor with an apple crusher and storage space above. The upper floor also once contained the internal machinery of the waterwheel adjacent to the S side of this building.
The ground floor plans of these structures were surveyed by RCHME Architectural Division 17-AUG-90.
