Lower West Coombe Farmhouse

Grid ref: SX 7094 8249

Lower West Coombe Farmhouse stands in the sheltered West Coombe valley, a working landscape shaped by generations of moorland farmers. The building itself carries the marks of its age in timber framing, stone walls and the pragmatic design of a dwelling built to withstand exposure and serve the demands of farm and family.

This is farmland history written into walls and rooflines. Visitors walking the moorland here encounter not just the house but the field systems, water sources and shelter belts that made farming life possible in this upland country. The listing recognizes the building's significance as evidence of Dartmoor's rural past.
