Description
Vine Cottage is an 18th-century house, extended and altered in the 19th century, located in Weavers Lane, Pavenham. The house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with an old clay tile roof, later replaced by concrete tiles on a north-facing outbuilding. It is two storeys high. All the windows are 19th-century casements with wooden mullions and a transom bar. On the first floor, there are three casements, the two outer ones set beneath stone gables with ashlar coping and moulded kneelers. The ground floor has two casements flanking a doorway with a bracketed, gabled doorhood. A north-facing outbuilding, originally one storey, was heightened in red brick to two storeys in the 19th century and now has a concrete tile roof, containing a first-floor leaded casement and a ground-floor casement. All windows are topped with timber lintels. A datestone inscribed "J.P. 1842" indicates the year of alterations.
