Description

Vine Cottage is a house that was formerly divided into two separate homes. It dates from the 17th century, with a front added in the 19th century. The building is one-and-a-half storeys high, featuring a timber-framed structure with rendered sides and a red brick front, topped by a thatched roof. There are two chimney stacks at the ends and one internal stack, all with small plain red brick shafts. The exterior includes three 3-light casement windows, each with a single bar to the lights and arched heads to the surrounds, as well as three eyebrow dormers with 2-light casements, also with a single bar to the lights. There are two plain, partly-glazed doors set in arched surrounds. The interior does not have any exposed timbers.

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.
