Description
Vinecroft is a cottage dating from around 1600 and later. It features a rendered timber frame with one brick gable end and has a plaintiled roof. The building is in an L shape due to a nearly contemporary rear extension and consists of one storey with an attic. The central front door is flanked by a pair of 20th-century windows with leaded lights. There is a single gabled dormer that contains an 18th-century two-light window with a metal casement and leaded lights. Notably, there is a fine early 18th-century curved gable with an internal stack and chequer patterned brickwork, along with a later external stack on the other gable end. Inside, some empty diamond mullion mortices are visible, and there is one roof tie with empty queen post and arch brace mortices, although the rafters have been renewed.
