Vine Cottage North Vine Cottage South

This is a house, originally probably built in the 16th century, and later divided into a pair of cottages. A connecting section was added in the 17th century, and a service extension was built in the 19th century. The house was refronted around 1920 and the windows replaced in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of stock brick, with every fourth course in red brick, with tile hanging to the gable ends and rear elevation. The roof is tiled. The building has an L-shape and is two storeys high with attics. It features five 20th-century metal casement windows. A large, cement-rendered coved eaves cornice runs along the top of the walls. There is a modern door with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. The rear of the building has a catslide roof. A one-storey brick outbuilding with a tiled roof is attached. A modern, flat-roofed extension to the south is not considered to be of particular architectural interest. Inside, the kitchen has 17th-century floor joists and unusually wide floorboards, suggesting a 16th-century origin. A large tie-beam, set diagonally, is in the attic and was likely inserted when the connecting section was added. Some square framing is visible in the 17th-century connecting section, but the original part of the building has concealed framing.
