Description

Ivy Cottage is a former pair of attached houses dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed ironstone and features a pantile roof. It stands two storeys tall and is arranged in three bays. The central entrance has a plank door, and the windows are late 19th century casements, with the one to the right of the door being from the late 20th century. There is no window located above the door. The roof is gabled and includes internal gable-end stacks.
