Description
The Ivy House is a public house with medieval origins that underwent significant alterations in the early 17th century, as well as further substantial changes and additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and plastered, with ashlar lining at the front, and features a thatched roof. It has one and a half storeys, with a small attic to the left. The façade includes two windows, which are 20th-century small-paned casements with hoodmoulds. There is a 20th-century door and a flat-roofed open porch supported by chamfered timber posts, with a balustraded lower section. The house also has two gabled dormers adorned with wavy bargeboards and spike finials, along with small gable stacks. To the left, there is an early 19th-century two-storey wing that is plastered and has a glazed black pantiled roof. A lean-to addition with a mid-20th-century brick face is set forward. The interior has been much altered, but the bar area retains an early 17th-century ceiling featuring ovolo-moulded floorbeams and chamfered joists.
