Description

Ivy Cottage and the attached shop are a pair of cottages dating from the mid-19th century, with a late 19th-century shop addition. The exterior features incised stucco and a dry slate roof, which has a stuccoed end stack on the right and a cast-iron ogee gutter. The cottages are designed as a shallow-depth-plan mirror-image pair, each with one room at the front and central entrances, along with a single-storey shop on the right. The building stands two storeys high and has a three-window range, with a blind window above the left-hand doorway. The original 12-pane hornless sash windows are present, and the ground-floor openings on the right are framed by plain stucco architraves. The central pair of doorways features 20th-century panelled and glazed doors. The shopfront on the right has a transomed design with four lights and sidelights, slender turned mullions with spandrel heads, and a central splayed doorway with an overlight and the original glazed and panelled door. The interior has not been inspected.
