Ivy House

Ivy House is a house dating from around 1700, with a late 18th-century service wing at the rear. It is constructed of narrow local brick, featuring Flemish bond on the front and east end wall, and English bond on the west gable end. The front has a plain tiled roof, while the rear has cement tiles and tumbled gable end parapets on kneelers. The building is L-shaped, two storeys tall with an attic, and has a plinth and peat band. The original three-light cross-frame casements have been replaced with three modern small pane wood casements. On either side of the doorway, there are C18 segmental arches leading to two modern wood windows. The early 19th-century doorcase features reeded detailing, paterae enrichment, an elliptical head, and a narrow hood. The west gable end has been rebuilt in brickwork similar to the original, possibly indicating a rebuild of the stack. The rear range is also early 18th century, made of narrow local brick in English bond with a modern tile roof. A window on the rear wall retains its original header brick segmental arch. Inside, there is a brick and timber staircase beside the inglenook in the west gable end, along with a 19th-century main staircase and half-glazed interior doors.
