Description
Ivy Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage terrace located on the south side of Northaw Road West, Cuffley. The building is constructed of red brick and has a plain tile hipped roof with two plastered, square chimney stacks. It is two storeys high. The facade features four cambered lintel windows, each with two small-pane cast iron casements. The ground-floor windows have pointed Gothic panes at the top. The cottage has plank doors set within segmental-headed openings; two are at each end of the terrace, and two are in the centre.
