Great Ivy Cottage

Great Ivy Cottage is a house that was formerly two cottages, dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, with a facade from the late 18th or early 19th century and an addition made in 1948. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor clad in red brick featuring occasional grey headers in Flemish bond, while the first floor is tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof and consists of four timber-framed bays, including a two-bay open hall and a storeyed left end bay. The right end bay was built or rebuilt in the late 18th or 19th century. The house is two storeys high with a hipped roof and has a rebuilt multiple brick ridge stack with a corbelled top, positioned off-centre to the left. The windows are irregularly arranged, featuring four two-light casements, and there are blocked doors towards each end. A boarded half-door from the 20th century is located in the parallel rear range that extends to both the right and left. Inside, the cottage showcases exposed framing and has rebated gunstock jowls on the central truss. It was previously known as Rose Farm Cottages.
