Description
Ives Cottages is a pair of cottages that were originally one house. They likely date from the late Medieval period and feature an open hall-house design with a late 16th-century inserted chimneystack. The building is timber-framed, with the framing exposed on the first floor, which has roughcast and plaster infilling, along with curved tension bracing and box framing on the left side. The ground floor is weatherboarded. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with a gablet on the left side and a large, formerly ribbed, brick chimneystack. The structure has two storeys and three windows, with 20th-century casements and two plank doors. There is a weatherboarded outshut on the left side.
