Description
Ivy House is a house dating from the late 17th century, which was remodeled and extended in the 19th century. It features stone rubble walls that are rendered at the front and has a gable-ended slate roof with two gable-end brick stacks. The layout consists of a two-room-and-through-passage plan, which was altered in the 19th century when a rear outshut was added and the front was reconfigured. The house is two storeys high and has a regular three-window front with small-paned two-light casements, with 19th-century windows on the first floor and 20th-century windows below. There is a central gabled porch with recesses inside its walls, and a 19th-century plank door set within a 17th-century chamfered wooden frame. Inside, the main rooms feature roughly chamfered ceiling beams, although the fireplaces have been rebuilt.
