Combe Park is one of five farmsteads within the flood area of Roadford Reservoir. The farmhouse and farm yard buildings were recorded in November and December 1984.
The farmyard comprises mainly 18th and 19th century buildings of stone and cob. These include a cider house which still has an apple crusher and press, a horse engine house and and an unusual form of linhay. There is also a large late 19th century waterwheel together with some of the machinery that it powered such as millstones, a winnowing machine and chaff cutter.
