(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:
D) At the S end of the farm complex are an impressive cart shed incorporating part of an older structure, possibly a longhouse, a byre, two small pens and a well built shelter shed.
The ground floor plans of these structures were surveyed by RCHME Architectural Division 17-AUG-90.
