Malt Cottage Vine Leigh Cottage

Vineleigh Cottage and Malt Cottage are two houses dating from the 16th to 17th centuries, with a cross wing on the left and a wing from the 17th to early 18th century on the right. They were remodeled in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The front is rendered and whitewashed, featuring ornamental half-timbering from around 1900. The left wing has more substantial timber framing with whitewashed brick and plaster infill, while the right gable end has lighter timber framing with whitewashed brick infill. The buildings have old tile roofs and rebuilt brick chimneys at the center of each wing. The structure is T-shaped with 20th-century rear extensions, standing two stories tall with three bays; the left bay is gabled and projects. The windows are paired barred wooden casements with small panes, with two pairs in the left bay on each floor. Similar single lights are found in the right bays, with one blocked doorway in the left. There are ornamental red and yellow brick panels below the upper right windows and a boarded door in the right bay. The left gable features circa 1900 carved wooden panels, and the right bays contain fragmentary timber framing inside, along with a stop-chamfered spine beam supported by a shaped bracket in the left room. The left wing has heavy floor joists.
