Vine Tree House

Vine Tree House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, but likely includes parts of an earlier building. It has undergone later additions and alterations. The structure is made of red brick in a mixed bond, with red sandstone blocks on the ground floor of the left gable end, and features a slate roof that is graded to the rear.

The original house consists of three bays with a central baffle entry. A projecting gabled range, which may have been agricultural in purpose, was added later, creating the current L-plan layout. There is also a single-bay cowhouse attached to the right gable end, which is a later addition. The building has two storeys with a floor band along the long range.

The long range features 19th-century wooden mullioned and transomed windows on both sides of a four-panel door (with the top panels now glazed) beneath a 19th-century flat-roofed trellised porch to the left. The first-floor windows are positioned directly below the eaves, while the ground-floor windows have segmental heads. The gabled range has similar windows, one on each floor, both with segmental heads. There is an infilled segmental-headed window immediately to the right of the right ground-floor window of the long range and another to the left of the cowhouse.

A red brick ridge stack is located directly above the entrance, featuring projecting bands and a 19th-century purple brick capping. There is an integral lateral stack on the left return of the gabled range, which has infilled narrow rectangular air vents, and cross-shaped air vents are present on the cowhouse. At the rear of the long range, there is a red brick outshut in the center.

The interior was not inspected during the last survey in November 1986, but it is expected to be of interest. A 19th-century red brick outbuilding that is at right angles to the rear on the right side of the long range is noted as not being of special architectural interest.
