Description

Ivy House is a building that dates back to the 18th century, featuring a refronting of a 17th-century house. It was formerly a single residence and now consists of two properties. The house has two storeys and an attic, constructed from whitewashed brick with occasional header courses and a stone plinth.

No. 15 has a triple Roman pantile roof above a moulded wood cornice, while No. 15A has a mansard roof covered with old tiles. There are three ridge brick chimneys. On the first floor of No. 15, there are two sash windows, each five panes wide, flanking a central window that is four panes wide. The ground floor features two windows, with a single-hung window to the right that is five panes wide, and plaster-cast heads above the central window. The central entrance is a six-panel door, with the top panels glazed, and is topped with a flat wood hood supported by cut brackets.

No. 15A has a central coupled attic sash window, a single glazing bar sash window on the first floor, and a modern half-glazed door with a side light below it, along with a secondary door leading to a through passage on the right.

Inside, there are massive oak timbers in the roof with corner braces, and an oak staircase featuring a panelled dado. The 'T' plan "Weavers" extension is two storeys high, with three windows on one side and two on the other on the first floor. This extension is made of red brick with a dentil band above the ground floor and has various types of windows on the ground floor. It has a triple Roman tile roof and one chimney, connected to the main house by a quadrant hood over the doorway. The interior is of great interest, featuring three bays divided by large jointed-cruck type trusses, with three bays open to the first floor and three serving as a garret, one of which has wind braces.
