Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is a house dating from the 15th century, with remodelling from the 17th century and later. It has one storey and attics, featuring a three-cell cross-entry plan. The building is timber-framed and roughcast, with a pantiled roof that was once thatched. There is an axial chimney from the 17th or 18th century made of red brick, which is partly rendered, and an internal end chimney to the left, likely 18th century red brick. The cottage has pantiled raking dormers with 18th-century three-light leaded casements, each light featuring a pointed head in the Gothick style above a transom, and original hinged boarded shutters. The late 18th-century doorway at the cross-entry position is boarded, with applied beading forming panels that contain pointed arched heads, and it has a simple gabled canopy on brackets. The right-hand cell displays high-quality close-studding, unchamfered floor joists, and a blocked window with square mullions, all dating from the 15th century or around 1500. The interior has been significantly remodelled, with little timber-framing visible at the time of the survey.
