Description
Vine Cottage is a pair of attached cottages, now combined into a single house, dating from the early 18th century. It was remodelled in the early to mid-19th century and altered in the late 20th century. The exterior is constructed of coursed stone and stone rubble, with dressed stone quoins and brick window dressings. It has a thatched roof with half-hipped ends and a brick axial stack.
The original 18th-century house was converted into two cottages in the early to mid-19th century, with each cottage featuring a back-to-back fireplace in a central axial stack, heating a kitchen and an unheated service room at either end. These cottages were later converted back into a single house in the 20th century.
The south front is symmetrical, with three windows. The windows are casements with glazing bars; the outer windows are single-light, and the central windows are three-light, all with brick dressings. The ground floor windows have cambered arches. There is a doorway to the left and right of centre; the left doorway has an early 19th-century flush-panel door, while the right has a 20th-century glazed door. The rear (north) elevation is largely blind, with two small single-light windows under the eaves, featuring wrought-iron casements with leaded panes.
Internally, partitions separating the principal rooms and the end rooms have been removed or breached. A plaster ceiling in the west end has been removed, exposing the roof joists. A brick fireplace with a cambered brick arch is present in a room on the right-hand side. The roof structure features pole rafters and purlins braced apart by collars with birdsmouth joints.
