Description
Ivy Cottage is a building that was likely constructed in the late 18th to early 19th century. Originally three cottages, it has been converted into a single house. The structure features plastered cob on rubble footings, with cob or rubble stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick. The roof is thatched with wheat reed.
The building has a two-room plan cottage on the right (northeast) end, which has a projecting end stack, and two one-room plan cottages to the left that share an axial stack. It is two storeys high and has a balanced five-window front, mostly featuring late 19th-century two-light timber casements with six panes per light, along with some 20th-century windows.
The right cottage has a two-window front with a central door, the centre cottage has a two-window front with a right-side door and a 20th-century glass-sided porch, and the left cottage has one window with a left-side door. The roof is hipped on the left side and gable-ended on the right. Inside, there are plain chamfered crossbeams, but the fireplaces are blocked, and the roof has not been inspected.
