Description
Ivy House, along with an attached granary and dovecote, is a house dating from 1667, with a remodel in 1840. It is built from coursed, squared, and dressed large stone blocks and features a clay tile roof with brick integral end stacks. The design incorporates elements of Vernacular Revival and Tudor Gothic styles. The house has two storeys and a half attic in the centre, with three bays; the central bay is gabled. It includes two-light chamfer mullioned windows with returned dripstones, which hold picturesque cast iron traceried casements.
There is a central open-sided gabled porch, marked with the initials W.H., featuring square section piers with moulded caps and a half-glazed door topped with an 1840 dated lintel. To the left of the porch, there is a low extension with a two-light chamfer mullioned window that contains cast iron latticed casements. The right-hand return wall has a boarded door with a bracketed hood. To the right of the house is a low, slightly set-back granary and dovecote. The gable end of this structure has tallet steps leading to a boarded door, with openings and ledges above that provide access to the dove loft in the gable.
