Ivy House

Ivy House is a house dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a dentil cornice and a hipped clay tile roof, with a brick stack on the right side. The building is arranged in an L-plan with a staircase range at the rear and has three storeys plus a basement, with a one-window range. The original main entrance is on the left and features a six-panel door. To the right, there is a side entrance with a boarded door that has strap hinges. The house has segmental-arched openings throughout, with 20-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, while the second floor has a 10-pane sash window. The rear of the house has a plinth made of local sandstone. The lower ground floor includes a large glazed opening, the ground floor has a 16-pane sash window, the first floor has a blocked opening, and the second floor features a two-light timber and iron casement window. On the right side, there is a staircase tower with a narrow full-height window that has horizontal glazing bars, although it is now partly bricked up. A small one-storey wing projects to the left. Inside, the ground-floor room is noted for having a moulded timber fireplace.
