Our History
The Georgian House has a history going back to 1722. The house is occupied at what was the Colville’s Comber estate. The property was in the ownership of the Allen family until the early 20th century. The property process some traditional and beautifully designed interior with an exterior that matches the interior aesthetically.
Georgian House
Large and impressive two stories double-pile house set at the end of a terrace, whose front half probably dates from the mid-1700s, with the rear half from c.1840. The front façade has decorative mouldings to the openings which may date also from c.1840.
Walled Garden
There has been a restoration of the walled garden at the rear of the house, which gives the site a summer feel. Much of its historical character is kept and new furniture placed but still has that traditional touch. The name ‘Comber’ derives from the junction of two rivers: the Glen River and the Enler River.
Mid 18th century
The front part is mid 18th century, but it was extended to the rear around 1840, probably by Dr Jonathan Allen. The site is next to an old tannery was owned by the Allen family and later traction engines were built on the site by James George Allen. Note the traces of furnaces in the wall as you walk on the path towards the car park. The house is situated in a square that has a Georgian origin.
A Piece Of History
The property, according to a historical map was the possession of Alan Ralph, who was mentioned in the title deeds of the property in 1789. The OS map of 1834 shows a building equivalent to the front gabled portion of the present house, with what appears to be a return to the rear. The dimensions of this property, which are given in the contemporary valuation records, confirm this and show that the house was two storey, possessed a basement and attic and was judged by the values to be on reasonable age- probably 18th century.
