Ivy Farmhouse

Ivy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with an early 19th-century addition. It is constructed from timber framing, clay lump, and is rendered and colourwashed, with a pantile roof. The building consists of a single range in two sections. The left section has two cells with a central chimney bay and an axial stack, while the right section is a lower range with three cells and a chimney bay, featuring a steeper pitched roof. The left range includes a late 20th-century rendered lean-to by the chimney bay, an internal stack on the left, and three-light casements on both the ground and first floors. There is a doorway to the right of the second cell, which has a 19th-century gabled porch made of wood with wavy bargeboards and slatted sides.

Inside, the second cell features 16th-century moulded central and cross beams on the ground floor, and the right end partition wall has timber studs and a cross brace. The rear of the first floor displays wall plates and timber framing, with a two-tier roof supported by butt purlins and collars. The right range has a high brick plinth, with timber framing above that is also rendered and colourwashed. It has an off-centre axial stack to the left, and three-light casements in the first and second cells, with the second cell having a small inserted two-light casement to the right. The third cell has a doorway to the left with a single light to the right. There are three inserted gabled dormers with casements and pantiles.

Inside the first cell, there is a heavy tie beam and visible joists, with timber studs and a wall plate seen at the rear of the first floor. This section also has a two-tier roof with half staggered purlins and collars. At the rear, there are clay lump outshut additions. There is a 19th-century wing to the west at the back of the left range, built around 1830, made of colourwashed brick with a shallow pitch slate hipped roof. This wing is a single bay and two storeys high, featuring recessed sashes with glazing bars, including a ground floor sash with six large panes and gauged brick flat arches. The right return has a similar sash on the ground floor, with a doorway to the right that has a flat canopy supported by console brackets. Above, there is a narrow stair sash with glazing bars.
