Description

Ivy Green Villa is a house built around 1830, with some alterations made in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with tuck joints and features a hipped roof made of black glazed pantiles, which has lead rolls along the hips and ridge, supported by paired brackets at the moulded wooden eaves cornice. The building has a double-depth plan, consisting of two main front rooms, a central entrance hall, and two back rooms with service areas behind, surrounding a small back yard.

The villa is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay north front. The first floor features original 20-pane sash windows, with a narrower 15-pane sash in the center, all having smaller margin panes. The ground floor windows, which have flat rubbed brick arches, have been replaced with late 19th-century sashes that lack glazing bars. The central doorway is round-headed and framed by a moulded architrave, topped with a traceried semi-circular fanlight, and has a 19th-century door with round-headed panels. A verandah spans the front, supported by wooden trellis piers and topped with a zinc-clad tented canopy.

The left and right side elevations each have two windows, featuring early and late 19th-century sashes. The right side includes a ground floor garden door, while the left side has a late 19th-century canted bay window with a moulded cornice and sash windows adorned with keystones in flat arches. At the rear, there is a single-storey service and outhouse range that encloses two sides of the small back yard, which is bordered on the left by a wall.

The interior has not been inspected but is noted to include 19th-century white marble chimneypieces in three of the ground floor rooms, along with panelled internal window shutters and other original joinery. The plasterwork is likely to be intact.
