Description
The Ivy House is a house that has been converted into three flats. It dates from the mid or late 18th century, with some alterations made in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of brick and features a tiled roof with a brick chimney. It has an L-shaped plan with a rear right wing and stands three storeys tall, displaying a symmetrical arrangement of three windows. The exterior includes a cornice and clasping buttresses. The segmental-headed windows are fitted with fixed glazing that consists of three segmental-pointed lights. The central entrance is adorned with pilasters, a roll-moulded archivolt, and a half-glazed door. The returns of the building have gable ventilation holes, while the rear wing showcases varied window arrangements, an entrance, and a gable-end chimney. Inside, there are some cased beams, and the window designs represent an interesting example of early Gothic Revival architecture.
