The report concluded that the buildings were a good survival of an early Victorian terrace. The buildings have dog-leg stairs with stick balusters and moulded handrails and originally curtail steps. Modern doorways have been knocked through party walls giving continuous access between No. 6 and No. 14 and similarly linking 16-18 and 20-22.

Description
Vine Place was once the back lane of the medieval village (HER 163). It is now a busy shopping street. The southern terrace contains a jumble of fairly non-descript building styles, however collectively they present a charming informality and feature several notable shopfronts of the late 19th century. Some very ornate pilasters and finials remain. Where historic shopfronts have been replaced with modern ones there is a general lack of quality in their design and materials. The northern group of 3-storey terraced properties are simple yet quite refined buildings. They retain the basic framework of historic shopfronts such as the carved pilasters, consoles and cornices. These properties have also kept their original offshoots, giving the rear lane a distinctively rhythmic appearance. A variety of bay windows above ground floor level.
