Vine Cottage

Vine Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with brick casing added in the 18th century and a northern extension from the late 19th century. The building features a timber frame that is now encased in red brick arranged in a Flemish bond pattern, interspersed with blue headers. The northern extension and the rear wall are roughcast with applied half-timbering, while the northern gable is made of painted brick. The house has steep old red tile roofs and is two storeys tall, with attics and a cellar, facing west towards the street next to the Court House.

The central entrance leads into a plan with end chimneys and a rear outshut under a catslide roof, which includes two small gabled dormers at the rear eaves. The symmetrical front has two windows on each floor, a stucco plinth, a plat-band, and a plastered central recess with the name painted above a gabled brick porch that features a six-panel door. All windows and the recess have segmental arches. The first-floor windows are two-light with small panes, while the ground floor windows are three-light, and there is a two-light gabled dormer on the northern part of the front.

Inside, the northern internal gable chimney has an ovolo-moulded base at the shaft, and the southern gable internal chimney rises through the rear slope of the roof. The two-storey northern extension is set back from the front and has a slightly projecting northern gable chimney along with large windows at the rear. The interior retains exposed timber framing.
