Description
Ivy Croft is a detached house, likely once part of a larger structure that included a less well-built cottage, built around the same time. The building is constructed from thinly bedded coursed squared and dressed limestone, with dressed stone quoins and an artificial stone slate roof. It features 20th-century ashlar stacks and has a rectangular plan with a two-bay extension that has been largely rebuilt in the late 20th century, which has a lower roofline at the left gable end.
The house is two storeys high with an attic, and the front has two 20th-century single-light roof dormers with raking roofs on the first floor. There is a single skylight at the rear. The facade has four windows, including two three-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with stopped hoods and two 20th-century two-light wooden casements with imitation leaded panes on the first floor. The ground floor features two three-light stone-mullioned casements and two 20th-century wooden casements, one of which is located within the blocking of a former doorway. All the casements have leaded panes or imitation leaded panes.
The main entrance to the house on the right side has a 19th-century plank door set within a dressed stone surround and is topped by a flat canopy supported on moulded brackets. To the left is another 19th-century plank door, which was formerly the entrance to the cottage. The rear of the house includes two 20th-century two-light casements and one single-light casement. Additionally, there are two single-light frosted casements within flat-chamfered stone surrounds on the gable end facing the road. The gable ends feature flat coping, and there are axial and gable stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
