Vine Tree Cottage

Vine Tree Cottage and 2 Vine Tree Cottages is a two-storey house made of rubble stone, featuring a roughcast front and a pebble-dashed rear, all painted cream, with a slate roof. There is a stone chimney stack to the right of the center with a diagonal shaft, a replaced stone stack to the right, and a 19th-century stone stack to the left. The front has three windows, with No. 2 Vine Tree Cottages occupying the right unit and having two recently added roof dormers. The upper storey includes center-pivoting small-pane windows to the center and left, and a three-light window to the right with ovolo mullions. The doorway to the right of center has a shaped head and a boarded door with strap hinges. There is an enlarged casement window to the right of the doorway and a small-pane casement to the left. To the left of center is a single-storey former dairy with modern openings, which has an additional projection of rubble stone with an end stone stack and replaced openings added in the 19th century. The gable end to the right features a stepped external stack supported by first-floor corbels and a continuous drip stone at eaves level. The rear elevation includes a shallow stair turret to the left of center, with casement windows on each storey, both of which are additions. To the right of the stair turret is a small-pane casement in the upper storey within an earlier opening, and three fixed lights in the lower storey at pavement level. The left gable end has a one-storey modern projection. Although not inspected at the time of the survey in August 1997, it is reported to retain a fireplace, stairs, and a post-and-panel partition between the hall and parlour.
