Ivy Cottage South View

Ivy Cottage and South View comprise a terrace of three houses built around 1800 in Romaldkirk. The buildings are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with a stone-flagged roof and stone chimney stacks. The terrace is situated on a sloping site.

The central house, No. 2, is two storeys high with three bays. Ivy Cottage, to the left, is also two storeys with two bays, while No. 1, to the right, is three storeys with two bays. Distinctive alternating tooled quoins feature throughout. Each house has a central front door (No. 2), a right-hand door (Ivy Cottage), and a left-hand door (No. 1), all within tooled flush surrounds. Most windows are paired, replaced sash windows in flush surrounds, each incorporating a wide central mullion. Ivy Cottage and No. 2 have single, four-pane replaced sashes above their doorways; No. 1 has a blank bay above its doorway. The continuous roofline is punctuated by corniced end and ridge stacks, as well as water tables. A continuous, low two-storey rear outshut is present, featuring replaced windows.
