Description
Ivy Cottage and Ivy Lodge are two houses located on North Leigh Park Road. Ivy Cottage, on the left, dates from the 17th century with later 18th-century alterations. It is built of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled thatch roof with brick ridge stacks. The house has a two-unit plan and is two storeys high with a two-window range. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch made of stone slate on the left. The windows include a 20th-century three-light casement on the ground floor to the right and 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars on the first floor.
