Description

Ivy House Stables is a coach house and stables, now converted into a house, dating from the late 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features stone tiled roofs. The main stable is designed in an early 18th century style, characterized by a hipped roof, raised plinth, moulded eaves cornice, and flush ashlar quoins. The window surrounds and bands at sill level and under the cornice add to its architectural detail.

The building has a central eaves-breaking hipped dormer that contains a segmental-headed window. The ground floor features a segmental-headed door with a three-pane overlight, flanked by segmental-headed windows. All windows are pairs of casements, with a 20th-century window at the rear. There is an east side stack.

Attached to the southeast is a low coach-house range, which originally had two open bays to the west, although one bay now features 20th-century glazing. The south gable has a hipped roof, and the north-east end has a canted hip. The rear wall of this range is an 18th-century garden wall belonging to Ivy House.
