Description
Ivyhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1835. It is constructed of red brick with a stone plinth course at the front and features a tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with four bays. The end gables have a brick gable end stack on the right and a four-flue brick ridge stack with decorative terracotta chimney pots on the cross wall of the first bay from the left. There is a brick eaves cornice.
On the left side, there is a rear kitchen wing with a later extension. The central bay on the right features a doorway with a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight with bars. There are three-light wooden casements with transoms on either side of the door and above it on the first floor. The left-hand bay has similar two-light casements on both floors. All front windows have Tudor-style hoodmoulds made of stucco and glazing bars on the casements.
Inside, there is a room on either side of a through passage that leads to a dog-leg stair with square-section newels and balusters. The ground floor room in the left-hand bay contains an original large stone trough and benches supported by bricks.
