Description
Ivy Lodge is a lodge cottage ornee associated with Sheringham Hall, originally dating from the early 19th century but altered in 1905. The building features a combination of brick and pebble dash with plain tiles. It has two bays and a circular wing on the left side. The structure is two storeys high, with the ground floor made of brick and the first floor rendered with pebble dash.
A central lean-to glazed wooden porch is present, with a door on the left side and splat balusters at the front. There is a decorative platband, and the windows are casement type with rectangular leaded panes—one of two lights on the ground floor and a small two-light window on the upper floor. The circular wing has a dentil platband and features vertical timber affixed studs with timber lozenges in panels below the windows. It includes a plaque inscribed with "1905/HMU" (Henry Morris Upcher) and has three two-light cross windows on the ground floor and three two-light windows on the first floor, all with leaded panes. The roof is conical with plain tiles, wide overhanging eaves, and an elaborate finial.
There is a square axial stack with decorative brickwork located behind the circular wing. The left gable on the southeast side has a flint plinth, shaped bargeboards, a two-light casement on the ground floor, and a three-light casement on the first floor. The rear of the building features a one-and-a-half storey outshut. The cross wing on the northwest gable has a three-light window and a flint plinth. There is also a low outshut on the northeast side.
A single-storey thatched lodge with the same plan is shown in the Red Book of Sheringham Hall by Humphry Repton, and a lodge of the same plan is marked on the 1838 Tithe Commutation map. The cottage was rebuilt to two storeys in 1905 after a fire.
