Description
Ivy Cottages is a pair of cottages dating from the mid-18th century. They are constructed of red brick with a pantile roof, featuring a single red brick and a rendered ridge stack, as well as a rendered stack on the right gable. The cottages are two storeys high and have six bays. There is a first-floor band that runs across all but the single left bay. From left to right, the ground floor includes a single glazing bar casement in a former doorway, a single tripartite glazing bar casement, a doorway with a 19th-century door, another single tripartite casement, a doorway with a 20th-century door, and a final single tripartite glazing bar casement. All ground floor openings, except for the doorways, are set under segmental arches, and all windows are flanked by single 20th-century shutters. Above, there are five two-light casements.
