Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with the main range partially cased in brick in the 18th century, as indicated by 'IA/1739' painted on the gable of the northern crosswing. The house was refronted in brick in the mid-19th century. It features a timber frame with roughcast on the crosswing, and the lower walls are made of red brick that changes irregularly to pale pink brick. The house has steeply pitched tile roofs and is designed in an L-plan, facing west with two storeys and attics, along with a long projecting two-storey northern crosswing.

The main range has a nearly symmetrical west front that is three windows wide, with a gabled central porch. The first floor has three sets of three-light casement windows, and there is one gabled dormer on the roofslope with decorative bargeboards. There is one window on each side of the porch. The house features ridge top chimneys at each end of the main range and a large projecting 17th-century brick chimney on the northern side of the crosswing. Additionally, there are three-light casement windows on each floor and fancy bargeboards on the west gable.
