Vine Cottage

Vine Cottage is a semi-detached cottage with origins in the 16th century, with an addition dating to the 17th century and a rebuilding of the front wall around 1800. The front is built of Flemish bond brick, concealing a timber-frame structure, and has a thatched roof with brick stacks. An outshut is situated to the rear. The two-storey, three-window front features a half-glazed door with a thatched canopy on the right, with two 2-light casement windows to the left and one 2-light casement window to the right. The first floor has three 2-light casement windows. The brick stacks are topped with toothed capping. The left return has a tile-hung first floor with fishscale tiles and two single casement windows. To the rear, a rebuilt outshut replaces a previously integral one, and there are 20th-century eyebrow dormers. Records indicate evidence of smoke-blackening in the roof, and a 17th-century chamfered beam with run-out stops is visible in an inserted ceiling. The cottage likely originated as an open-roofed structure, similar to The Cottage to which it is attached, and has a history dating back to the 16th century.
