Description

Vine Cottage is a house that has been divided into two cottages. It dates from the 17th century and features one-and-a-half storeys with a three-cell plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft and a single-storey lean-to along the rear wall. The cottage has 2-light small-paned casement windows and one gabled dormer with fluted bargeboards. Inside, the two main ground-storey rooms have main beams with scroll-stops, decorated with jewel and small groove, and the joists are set on edge. The eastern service bay lacks a main beam and has poorer joists, but it does not appear to be an addition. The roof is ceiled off at collar level, with no principal rafters visible, and the side purlins can be seen in the gable ends.

Local climate

Vine Cottage sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
