Ivy Farmhouse

Ivy Farmhouse is a house from the first half of the 18th century, constructed of brick with black and red pantile roofs, and features a rendered service wing. The building is arranged in a T plan, with a double pile service wing at the rear. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a seven-bay facade that includes sash windows with glazing bars set beneath skewback arches at the ground floor. Three windows are blocked on the sides and above the entrance. The facade also features recessed aprons and a plain platband. A fine doorcase is present, which has a rusticated background with fluted Roman Doric pilasters that support a Doric entablature and a flat hood with mutules. The roof is hipped. The rear wing likely dates from the same period and includes two original two-light windows with metal casements, retaining their ironmongery and leaded glazing. Inside, the original staircase from the first floor to the attic remains, featuring alternating twisted and plainly turned balusters. Some original balusters have been reused in an early 19th-century swept staircase from the ground to the first floor. There is also one bolection moulded fireplace.
