Ivy Farmhouse

Ivy Farmhouse, now two separate dwellings, is largely from the late 18th and early 19th century, although it has earlier origins. It is constructed of brick with some stone detailing and has a Welsh slate roof. The left-hand section is likely the earliest part of the building. Originally a two-unit plan, an outbuilding was added to the east end. The fenestration is irregular. The original part of the dwelling (on the right) has a central doorway leading up steps, with a twelve-pane sash window on each floor to its right. A window on the left is partly blocked, but a single-ring, segmentally-arched head remains, and the upper window on this side does not align with the one to its right. Stone angle quoins and a masonry joint indicate the original extent of the house. A range added to the east has stone footings raised in brick. It features a blocked opening on the ground floor with a single-ring, segmentally-arched head, and a two-light window above it. To the right is a single-storeyed brick range of three units, with one unit to the left of the doorway and three windows to its right, all being two-light casements. A section of stonework to the right of this range may denote an earlier building incorporated into the larger structure. Axial and end wall stacks are present, as are stone-coped gables throughout the building.
