Description
Vine Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Bourne End Road. It is timber-framed with red brick nogging and features an old clay tile roof. The left-hand bay is a later addition made of local red bricks, and there is a 20th-century one-storey wing at the rear. The cottage has one storey and attics, with three gabled dormers and five ground floor casement windows that have glazing bars. There is also a flat-roofed porch added in the 20th century.
