Ivanhoe House

House. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations in the 20th century. The house is timber-framed, with plaster and some exposed timber framing, and has a roof of handmade red clay tiles. It originally had two bays facing northwest, dating to the early 16th century, along with a one-bay rear wing from the same period. There's a two-bay extension to the left of the main range, featuring an axial stack from the early 17th century, and a two-bay rear wing from the 16th century, forming a half-H shape. The house has two storeys plus attics. The ground floor has three 20th-century casement windows. The first floor has four 17th/18th-century windows with three lights each, fitted with wrought iron casements. Four 20th-century casement windows are located in gabled dormers in the attic. The right half of the front elevation is jettied, with the jetty and timber framing above exposed. A bressumer is carved with a folded leaf design, and the interior reveals exposed beams, joists, and studding with ‘Suffolk’ bracing. One first-floor window on the right has a deep sill, likely for a former oriel. Sprockets are located below the eaves on both rear wings. Part of the left side of the right rear wing is exposed, with a blocked, unglazed window containing three diamond mullions. Jowled posts and close studding are visible throughout. The right part of the main range has chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, plain horizontal joists joined to them using soffit tenons with diminished haunches, and mortises and shutter grooves for unglazed windows. The left part of the main range has chamfered axial beams with jewel stops and lamb's tongue-plus-notch stops. The left rear wing includes a binding beam with double ogee moulding, and the ground floor room has 18th-century pine panelling.
