Description
Ivy Cottage is a late 18th-century cottage first shown on a 1790 county map of Surrey, with a later 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear and refenestrated in the 20th century. The building has a timber-framed structure with thin scantling, clad in weather-boarding except for the rear wall, which is made of stretcher bond red brick and now serves as an internal wall due to the addition. It features an old tiled roof and a right side external brick chimney stack. The cottage has two storeys and an attic in the gable end, with two windows that are 20th-century casements with leaded lights and shutters. A 20th-century gabled porch incorporates the original four-plank door with strap hinges, and the original moulded door jamb is preserved behind the porch. Inside, there is a Guardian Insurance Company fireplace on the left side, a large cambered arched open fireplace, an original cantilevered wooden staircase partly located in the living room to save space, an under-stair cupboard with H hinges, and a three-plank door with strap hinges.
