Description

Ivy Cottage is a cottage dated 1673 with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of slobbered squared rubble with painted stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building features a lobby entry plan and has a gable end facing the street. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance, located to the right of centre, has a moulded surround with a round arch made up of ten voussoirs and projecting moulded imposts. The datestone, inscribed with "AR," is enclosed by a hoodmould, and the entrance door is a plank door with the upper part glazed.

On the left and right sides of the ground floor and upper floor, there are four-light double chamfered mullioned and transomed windows, which include casements and fixed lights. To the left of the entrance, there is a transomed double chamfered fire window with a chamfered single light above it on the upper floor. A dripmould is present on the ground floor. There is a break in the masonry on the upper floor, which appears to indicate a rebuild following a 19th-century fire when the wall was slightly set back. The cottage also features shaped gable end kneelers and a central ridge stack.
