Ivy Cottage, Bethany and The Cottage

Ivy Cottage, Bethany, and The Cottage form a row of three houses in Featherstone Park Village. Ivy Cottage, on the right, dates to 1815, as indicated by the inscription "J.S. 1815" on the door lintel. The house at the left end was built in 1836, marked by a plaque reading "Park Village 1836". The houses are constructed of squared stone with tooled dressings, and have roofs covered with concrete tiles to the front and Welsh slates to the rear. Dressed stone chimneys are a feature. Each house is two storeys high and originally had two windows to the front, although the house to the left end slightly projects. Tooled quoins are present. The doorways feature alternating jambs. Ivy Cottage has a central six-panel door with a lintel bearing the inscribed date; a 16-pane sash window is to the right, and a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash and a nine-pane casement are above. The central house displays a partly-glazed six-panel door, alongside two 16-pane sash windows. The left-end house has a blocked doorway on its right side, a replaced door to the left, and nine-pane casement windows above. The row has a continuous roof, with the pitch over the left-end house extending down to lower eaves. End and ridge stacks terminate with top ledges.
