Description

Ivy House is a house from the mid-18th century. It is possibly timber-framed and features red and blue brick cladding, with a distinctive red and blue brick chequer pattern on the front. The roof is half-hipped and gambrelled, covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys with attics, a flat band above the first floor, a parapet, flat-headed dormers, and end stacks. The front has a regular arrangement of three windows, which are glazing bar sashes with open boxes and gauged heads. The central doorway has a moulded surround and a sloping hood above, with 20th-century slit windows on either side. The door itself is a 20th-century design with an inset fanlight.
