Ivy House Farmhouse

Ivy House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that may have originally been a hall-house, dating from the early 15th century with a 16th-century addition. The building features exposed timber-framing with painted brick infilling on the ground floor and close studding on the first floor. To the left, there is a return gabled wing with a first-floor jetty supported by a moulded bressumer and corner brackets. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, featuring a gabled return wing with original moulded barge-boards on the left and a 20th-century catslide extension on the extreme right, in front of a 19th-century plastered brick wing that is at right angles to the main block. A large stack is centrally located on the main block, off-ridge at the rear. The farmhouse has two storeys and an irregular front with two windows in the main block, featuring 18th-century and 19th-century glazing bar sashes, and one window in the return wing with casements. There is a boarded door with a pentice hood to the right of the main block. Inside, the building has been much restored, with one ground-floor room showcasing very fine moulded ceiling joists.
