Ivy Lodge

Ivy Lodge is a house located on the north side of High Street in Market Lavington, dating from the late 17th century and 1832. It is constructed of greensand rubble with brick side elevations and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys, which reduce to a single storey and basement on the right, and consists of three bays. The layout includes a central stair hall with a kitchen to the right and a parlour to the left. A rear wing on the left has been converted into a drawing room with a second entrance in the early 19th century. The re-entrant angle has been infilled with a dairy, now used as a general-purpose room.

The front entrance features a central half-glazed door set within a wide arched porch. The windows are twenty-paned sashes, with the upper floor showing brick patching from an earlier window arrangement. The right front of the house was added in the early 19th century, with windows said to have been sourced from Erlestoke Manor and re-erected approximately half a metre in front of the original end. This section includes a central door within a metal lattice porch, flanked by large twelve-paned sashes and arched brick lintels. The roof is hipped.

The interior was remodeled in 1832, as noted in the deeds, with the left room of the earlier work featuring an angle stack and binder with stop and scoop chamfer stops. The main chamber above has a similar beam with double leaf-shaped stops, bar, and pellets. The staircase splits to access the upper and lower levels, leading to a high early 19th-century drawing room with a cornice. The front of the building has a butt and threaded purlin roof.
