Ivy House

Ivy House is a late 16th-century farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings. A further range was likely added in the 18th century, with alterations carried out in the 19th century. The building has a double pile plan. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a front roof slope covered in plain tiles and the remainder in pantiles. Remnants of ridge tiles remain. The front range has two storeys and an attic. There are five windows, featuring large 19th-century casements with hoodmoulds. A 19th-century colourwashed brick porch, with a wide open entrance and embattled parapet, fronts the lobby. The porch contains a 19th-century six-panel door, with glazed centre panels. An internal stack and a gable stack are present to the right. A single-storey addition is attached to the right side. At the rear, a single-storey range of colourwashed brick, likely dating from the 17th or early 18th century, has been modernized in the mid-20th century. Internally, the timbers of the main range are concealed. It is believed the house served as the residence of the Brome estate manager in the 19th century.
