Vineyard Cottage

Vineyard Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 17th century. It has been suggested by Hussey that it may have been used for a wine press in the vineyard and to provide a viewing point for the gardens and park. The building is rendered and features a flat roof, with a rear lateral stack that has an ashlar freestone shaft. It is located in the north-west corner of the vineyard, northeast of Combe House. The cottage is a single cell building, square in plan, and two storeys high, with a stair turret that rises above the roof and has a doorway leading onto the roof.

The exterior consists of two storeys with a two-bay south front that includes a half-glazed 19th-century front door and a probably early 18th-century two-light transomed small-pane casement window on the first floor to the left. The left (west) return has two similar ground floor windows and one first floor window. The stair turret is square in plan, weatherboarded above the roof, and topped with a peaked slate roof.

The interior is plain. Vineyard Cottage is considered an unusual building and has group value with Combe House and associated buildings. The vineyard walls and terraces are separately listed. Vineyard Cottage is depicted on a plan from around 1787, which is reproduced in Hussey's articles on Combe in Country Life from June 9 and June 16, 1955. Additionally, a drawing from around 1820 shows Vineyard Cottage. The gardens at Combe are listed as grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.
