Description
Ivydene is a late 19th-century house located in The Square, facing north. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble or brick, featuring a brick stack with an original chimney shaft and one chimneypot, topped with a slate roof that includes bands of scallop-shaped slates. The house has a two-room plan with a central through-passage, and the right (west) room has a gable-end stack.
The exterior displays a symmetrical two-window front with horned four-pane sash windows and a central doorway that features a four-panel door behind an original and very ornamental gabled porch. This porch is timber-framed on brick sleeper walls, with sides that include grilles of turned balusters. The main roof eaves are supported by shaped brackets and divided into seven bays by larger shaped brackets. The gable-ended roof has cusped bargeboards on the left end facing The Square, along with a blind oculus beneath.
Inside, the house contains plain 19th and 20th-century joinery details. Ivydene is an attractive small late Victorian house situated on an important site in The Square.
