Ivery House

Ivery House, formerly known as The Vicarage, dates from 1727, though it has been significantly altered in the early and mid-19th century and more recently. The garden front is two and a half storeys, with a pebbledash finish over brickwork. It has a stone tile roof and one brick chimney with grooved detailing. A band runs above the ground floor. The front is arranged with three bays, the right-hand bay gabled, bearing a datestone inscribed “TS 1727” – referring to Thomas Saddler, who was vicar from 1716 to 1755. The central bay features a wide, three-light angled bay window. The other windows are glazing bar sashes. A half-glazed door is situated to the right, set within a lean-to porch with slated roofing, moulded woodwork, scallop eaves, and a trellis design extended to create a street entrance. A further extension exists to the south. The north-facing road front retains remnants of a moulded wooden eaves board and later 18th-century brickwork. On the west side, the building presents ashlar dressings to a rubble front, with a blocking course. The left-hand part has a band above the ground floor, a two-storey angled bay to the left, and a two-window range to the right, with brick infill and an oriel window. A rubble gable end features an external stone chimney.
