Ivy Lodge Farmhouse

Ivy Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring steeply pitched pantiled roofs. The building has two bays at the front and three bays at right angles, forming an L shape in plan. It stands two storeys high with attics.

On the left side, the parlour and stack bays have two and three-light leaded casement windows, with a transom in the parlour. An axial ridge stack is positioned to the right of centre and has fillets on the front and back, with a rebuilt capping. The gable front of the hall and service bays projects slightly to the right and features similar windows, coving to the oversailing attic, and bargeboards. The right return includes a half-glazed door leading into the hall, a stable door into the kitchen at the rear, along with 20th-century casements and a lean-to outshut.

Inside, there is an internal axial ridge stack in the kitchen at the rear and a lean-to dairy that replaces an earlier wing on the rear gable end. The left gable end of the parlour has brackets supporting the exposed plate of the oversailing attic. At the rear, there is a 19th-century panelled door leading into the parlour, and a catslide roof over a lean-to behind the stack bay, which has a half-glazed door. The inner return of the lean-to features a panelled door.

The interior frame is largely concealed, but some good studding with chamfered mid-rails and stop-chamfered binding beams can be seen. The parlour contains late 17th-century and 18th-century panelling, along with an 18th-century cornice. There is a newel staircase in front of the stack, and the roof structure consists of butt purlins with chamfered principals and arched windbraces.
