Description
Ivy House is a house with a 17th-century core, significantly remodelled and refaced in the early 19th century. A porch was added in the early 20th century, and the windows were replaced in the late 20th century. The house is constructed of orange brick in an English garden wall bond, with a Welsh slate roof and a gable and an off-ridge brick chimney.
The south front has two storeys and four bays. A raised band runs across the first floor. The windows are small-paned aluminium, set within original openings featuring flat wedged stone heads with raised keyblocks and moulded stone sills. A somewhat ornate porch made of Ruabon brick with stone dressings is located in the second bay, leading to a glazed door with a shaped stone head and flanked by single lights. Above the door is a brick and stone cornice with ball finials. Behind the porch is an original moulded doorcase with panelled soffits. Three horizontal brick bands are visible on the right side of the house, and the rear elevation reveals a regular framing pattern to full height, set on a tall brick plinth. 19th-century extensions are present at the rear. The interior was not inspected, but heavy moulded ceiling beams are visible.
