Location - The picturesque village of Coombe (often described as a hamlet) is in fact a friendly community tucked away in a pretty valley setting about 5 miles from St Austell and 11 miles from Truro. Coombe is almost undiscovered and unspoilt from over development due to the geography of the valley. The village has an active programme of events organised by either the Community Hall Committee or the Playing Field Committee for Coombe Community Trust. In addition, there is a play area and a Tennis Court for local use in the playing field.

Coombe is close to the nearby villages of St Stephen, Grampound, Grampound Road, Probus and Sticker. All of which provide various stores, doctors surgeries, public houses and primary schools. Whilst secondary schools lie either in Truro or St. Austell as well as the Roseland School in Tregony and Brannel School at St. Stephen. The property lies in the heart of central Cornwall, equal distant of both north and south coasts and access onto the A390 and A30 is also very convenient.
