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.

Ivy Lodge, on the right, also constructed of coursed limestone rubble, has a gabled stone slate roof and a brick end stack. This house similarly has a two-unit plan and is two storeys high with a two-window range. It features a similar 20th-century porch on the right, a 19th-century two-light casement with glazing bars to the left, and 20th-century two-light casements on the first floor. There is an 18th-century outshut to the right.

The interior of Ivy Cottage includes chamfered beams and a collar-truss with butt purlins, as well as winder stairs adjacent to the stack on the right. Ivy Lodge has not been inspected but is noted to have an open fireplace and chamfered beams.
