Description
Ivy Cottages comprise two cottages dating from the mid-19th century. They are constructed of flint rubble with plastered timber-framed gables, red brick dressings, and modern ridge tiles. Each cottage has end stacks and rear stacks, along with rear lean-tos. The cottages are arranged over two storeys. Each has a similar entrance consisting of a boarded door within a gabled, boarded porch featuring patterned bargeboards. There are three ground floor, three-light horizontal sliding sash windows, and three similar first floor windows in each cottage. The cottages are included on the list for their group value.
