Vine Farm

Vine Farm is a detached farmhouse with origins dating back to the 15th century or earlier, with later additions from the 16th, 17th to early 18th centuries, and the 18th century. The building features close-studded timber-framing, square-panelled timber-framing with painted brick infill, coursed squared and dressed limestone, and brick. It has a red tile roof with blue lias and brick stacks.

The west wing, which is rectangular and dates from the 15th century or earlier, has close-studded timber-framing on the upper floor and square-panelled timber-framing on the ground floor. At the east end, there is a rectangular close-studded wing with a gabled stairs projection from the right-hand wall, flanked by projecting blue lias stacks. A late 17th to 18th-century wing extends southward from the junction of the two earlier parts. There is also a 19th-century corrugated iron lean-to that connects the house to a barn or store, which is not of special interest, as well as a small late 18th-century brick extension in the angle between the close-studded block and the latter.

On the garden front, the 16th-century close-studded wing projects forward to the right, featuring a jettied gable-end with an original bargeboard decorated with a zig-zag pattern. The ground floor has large three-light 20th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars, and there is a similar two-light window on the first floor, along with a two-light casement in the attic. The 17th to early 18th-century square timber-framed wing on the left has one and a half storeys, with two 20th-century roof dormers containing plate glass casements lighting the upper floor, and a two-light 20th-century casement with horizontal glazing bars on the ground floor. Access to the house is via the lean-to to the left of the 18th-century extension.

The west wing is lit by small 20th-century one, two, and four-light wood casements. There is brick dentil decoration at the eaves of the small 18th-century extension. Twin diagonal blue lias and brick stacks are located on either side of the stairs projection from the right-hand wall of the close-studded 16th-century block, and an axial brick stack is present from the late 17th to early 18th-century extension. The Victoria County History refers to indications of a cruck-framed hall in the back (presumably west) wing. The house was once owned by the Hayward family, as noted in the churchyard monuments and Southfield House. The interior is not accessible.
