Description

Ivy Cottage is a pair of terraced houses dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The buildings are constructed of coursed rubble, featuring flush rusticated dressed stone quoins, some areas of render, blocked stone dressings, wooden lintels, and gabled stone slate roofs with stone stacks. The layout is L-shaped, with the original 17th-century range set at right angles to the road and a later wing running parallel.

The south front consists of two sections: the right side has three storeys and an attic, while the left side has three storeys. The windows are 4-pane sash windows from the 19th century, with those on the upper floors of the right section set in original 17th-century openings that have hoodmoulds. There is a doorway on the left with a 4-panel door and a flat hood supported by brackets. The west facade features further 17th-century openings and a 20th-century porch extension. Inside, there is a round-headed buffet in the ground floor left-hand room of No 11.
