Ivy House

Ivy House is a detached house dating from around 1840, with later alterations. It is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with sandstone dressings and a hipped slate roof. The building consists of a rectangular front range accompanied by a long extension to the right. The design follows a Classical style.

The front facade is symmetrical, with a central section projecting slightly. It features a stone plinth, rusticated quoins, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice with a blocking course. The ground floor has a central doorway, formerly leading to an Ionic porch on three steps, now enclosed by glazed screens and a doorway. This is flanked by later 19th-century canted bay windows with pilasters, moulded cornices with blocking courses, and sash windows. These openings are now bridged by a 20th-century iron balcony. The first floor has sash windows, without glazing bars, except for the central window, which now contains French windows. All windows are fitted with retractable metal sun-hoods. The side walls have chimneys. A two-bay return wall features a canted bay window on the ground floor.
