Where is Combe Farm?

  I listened to the episode when Grace was killed in the fire and I think I heard that it took place at Combe Farm. Where is that? Does it still exist? Was it renamed after the tragedy?

  The fire was at the Grey Gables stables I think. Coombe Farm was one of the Fairbrothers' holdings (Grace's family) and was their marital home. After her death it was divided between Phil and a herdsman and his family. Phil & Jill lived there and the twins & David were born there, before they moved to Allard's Farm (renamed as Hollowtree)
  
  Not sure what happened to it - sold for a house or subsumed into a bigger holding. One of those mysteries that happen in Ambridge - properties vanish, move etc

  On the map published for the twenty-five years of the Archers Coombe Cottage is situated adjacent to both Brookfield and Hollowtree farms, to the east of Brookfield. I believe Coombe Cottage was the name given to Coombe Farm house after it was split into two dwellings following the death of Grace. One half was occupied by Phil Archer and the other half by herdsman Mr Rodgers and his wife.
  
  Oh yes, Shula, Kenton and David were all born there.
