Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is a building that was originally a school, dating from around 1820, with materials reused from the 17th century and some alterations and additions made in the 20th century. The structure is made of stone rubble and cob, with a rendered finish and an asbestos slate roof featuring gable ends. There is a brick chimney stack on the right gable end. The original plan included a single room for the school, heated by the stack at the right gable end, with a porch entrance located at the center of the front.

The exterior is single storey and has an asymmetrical front, with the porch set off-center to the left. The porch features a steep gable and a reused 17th-century granite doorway that has a four-centred arch and recessed spandrels, leading to a plank door. Above the porch, there is a round-arched niche on a corbel, which has painted lettering in upper case from the 19th century that reads "IVY COTTAGE." On either side of the porch are three-light windows with round-arched lights. The right end of the building is blind and has a small single-storey lean-to, while the left end previously had a similar three-light window that is now blocked. The rear of the building has a 20th-century single-storey lean-to.

Ivy Cottage served as a school for the Carnanton estate until the St Mawgan School was built in 1863, after which it was converted into a house.
