Description
Ivy Cottage is a late 18th-century cottage with an integrated loomshop, altered subsequently. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoins, and has a slate roof with a brick chimney at the right gable. The rectangular two-bay plan incorporates an offset board door with a wooden porch on the right side, and to the left of this, a long five-light square-mullioned window; the mullion is missing from the left end and one light is blocked at the right. To the right of the door is a large, horizontally rectangular boarded window. The first floor has two two-light casements. The left gable features a recessed door and a vertical rectangular window above. The right gable has one window on each floor towards the rear, the lower window having been blocked. The rear elevation displays two square windows at ground floor level in the first bay.
