Description

Ivy Cottage is an estate cottage, now functioning as a house, that dates back to 1802, with later additions from the late 19th century. The building is constructed of brick and features a hipped slate roof with a central brick ridge stack and wooden eaves. It stands two storeys tall and has a two-window range of segment-headed, three-light Gothick casements with glazing bars. Below these, there are two similar windows and a central canted hipped porch that has a segment-headed board door, flanked on the left by a round window. The right side of the building includes another three-light Gothick window. Ivy Cottage is one of the structures built or altered between 1790 and 1820 by George de Ligne Gregory, and later altered between 1820 and 1840 by Gregory Gregory, who were successive Lords of the Manor of Harlaxton.
