Description
Vine Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the 17th or 18th century, constructed from rubble Doulting stone and topped with a double Roman clay tile roof. It features coped gables and end chimney stacks made of ashlar stone, which have been extended in brick. The cottage is two storeys high and includes a cellar, with a two-room plan and a central entrance. There is a recent single-storey extension on the east side.
The exterior has two- and three-light stone mullion windows with 8-pane casements, and a square-headed, edge-moulded stone door frame that holds a six-panel door, two of which are glazed. To the right of the door, there is a projecting staircase wall. At the rear, there are two stone buttresses in three stages, four two-light stone mullion windows with dripmoulds and 8-pane casements on the ground floor, and 19th-century horizontal glazing bars on the first-floor casements. A small moulded stone window frame with a dripmould is present in the cellar.
Inside, the interior has limited interest, featuring a new staircase in its original position and a new fireplace, although evidence of a bread oven remains. The property is enclosed by a 1.5-meter high stone boundary wall with coping along the eastern side, and there are gate piers made of ashlar stone with a stepped and moulded plinth, buttresses with scroll tops, and moulded roll top coping.
