Coombehurst Hall is an outstanding country house having a romantic blend of stone, timber cladding, exposed timbers and plaster infill under a pitched peg tiled roof. The house enjoys an elevated setting and enjoys superb views over an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.
The major portion of the house is a 16th Century hall house which is believed to have originally stood in Suffolk. The oak frame, which is understood to date from the mid-16th Century, was relocated to its current setting, and the house completed in about
May 2008.
The 18th Century sandstone octagon sits perfectly with the adjoining timber-framed house, and creates a house full of character with modern touches and fit for the 21st Century.
Some of the internal features of the property include antique limestone flooring to the ground floor with zoned under floor heating, an individually designed farmhouse kitchen by Sutherland Furniture, a gorgeous brick inglenook fireplace, stone staircase with
iron
balustrade, wide oak floorboards, many exposed wall and ceiling timbers, and luxurious bathrooms by Fired Earth, Philippe Starck and Maison.
