Description
Vine Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century that has been restored and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high and includes a plinth, a plat band, and a paired modillion eaves cornice. The roof is half-hipped on the left side and gabled on the right, with chimney stacks located at the centre right, projecting at the left end, and at the right end.
On each floor, there are three tripartite sash windows, with the ground floor windows having segmental heads. A half-glazed door is positioned to the centre left, topped with a flat hood supported by brackets. The right end bay is depicted in late 17th-century photographs showing a shop window and tile hanging. There is also a boarded door with a flat hood on the left return, accompanied by a painted board that notes the house was built around 1741 for John Brooke.
