Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is a cottage from the early 18th century that was enlarged in the early and late 19th century. It has a timber frame with brick and clunch, and is rendered with steeply pitched roofs made of pantiles and plain tiles. The cottage features an early 18th-century ridge stack and has a three-bay, lobby entry plan with a lean-to at the rear. It is one storey with attics, including one 19th-century gable dormer and two horizontal sliding sash windows with small panes, as well as a hung sash window of twelve panes on either side of the doorway, which is set in an early 19th-century gabled porch with pointed lights on the side walls.

The garden wing, added in the early 19th century, incorporates the gable end of the cottage and is made of clunch, rendered with a mansard roof covered in plain tiles. This wing has two storeys and features a central doorway flanked on the left by a two-storey bow window with a tripartite hung sash in each storey. A similar window is located on the right side at the attic storey of the gable end of the cottage, along with another bow window at the ground floor, also with a tripartite hung sash. Inside, the center room of the cottage retains its original staircase, while another room showcases early 19th-century details, including slender fluted engaged columns and a panelled dado. Ivy Cottage has been associated with the Wale and Altham family, who have owned it since 1701.
