The house is laid in English bond except for the main facade which is laid in all-header bond, a feature found elsewhere in Talbot County only at Lloyd's Dostin and Cedar Point. The windows on the first storey have segmental arches and a fanlight, while a semicircular arch surmounts the central main entrance. The land and house are associated with the Oldham and Martin families. Set among mature magnolias and arching willows on the banks of Island Creek, Combsberry inevitably turns one's focus from history to romance. Here, architecture, decor and setting produce an atmosphere of elegant seclusion.
All rooms provide splendid water views and have private baths.
Stepping through the sunny brick foyer, one enters a living room, where sprightly floral chintz lends an air of springtime to the first impression. The glow of the original wooden floors chases away winter doldrums and reflects spectacular sunsets on the water. To the right, one finds the library with original paneling, where leather sofas and a tapestry rocker invite reading or chatting by the fire. Hunt scenes grace the walls and the furniture is solid cherry with decorative pillars. Walking through an archway, hand painted with garlands, we discover the dining room and country kitchen.
