Description
Ivy Cottage is a detached house that was originally two houses, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a late 18th-century addition and mid-19th-century alterations. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone, mostly covered in roughcast render, and features roofs made of stone slate, Welsh slate, and pantiles, along with rebuilt brick chimneys.
It is two stories high with an attic, and there is a single-storey attic addition to the west, creating an L-shaped plan. On the south side, the gable end of the main 17th-century house is to the right, displaying a single-window arrangement. The central doorway has a timber lintel, a plank door, and a 20th-century gabled porch, with a 20th-century casement window to the right. The upper floor features a 19th-century three-light chamfered mullioned casement, while the attic has a two-light window, both with hoodmoulds. To the left, in the 18th-century addition, there is a central segmental-arched doorway and a 19th-century two-light casement window. A 20th-century conservatory porch is present but is not considered of special interest.
On the east side, there are two windows, with three-light mullioned casements on the ground floor that have hoodmoulds, and two-light casements above. The north side has a projecting chimney stack at the gable end of the 17th-century house to the left, along with a two-light casement window at the rear of the 18th-century addition. The west side of the 17th-century house has mullioned windows that are blocked internally and concealed externally by roughcast render.
Inside, there is a 17th-century dog-leg staircase, and a timber-framed partition on the upper floor features a doorway with a segmental-arched door head. All beams in the building have stepped chamfer stops, and there is a stone spiral stair located in the west end of the 18th-century addition.
