Description

Ivy House is a house dating from around 1600, which was enlarged in 1672 and again in the early 19th century, with restoration in the 20th century. It is built of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has stone slate roofs. The house features a single gable and two ridge stacks, with ashlar coped gables and kneelers. It is two storeys high and has a four-bay east front. The entrance is off-center, featuring a doorway with a moulded four-centred arch above which is an inscription reading "1672 BO:RB" and a studded door. To the left of the entrance is a small fixed light and a three-step external stair, followed by a renewed three-light mullion window and a 20th-century lean-to addition with two similar 20th-century windows. To the right, there is a 17th-century three-light mullion window. Above the door, there is a two-light mullion window, with renewed mullion windows on either side and a truncated similar window to the left.

At the rear, the central recessed section has a doorway with a segment-headed, chamfered ashlar door surround and a plank door. To the right, there is a pair of plain sash windows with a similar pair above and a small casement to the left, all with renewed ashlar surrounds. A projecting wing to the right features a two-light window and above it, a single and a two-light renewed mullion window. Beyond this is a set-back single bay range with a pair of mullion windows on each floor. To the left, there is a projecting kitchen wing with a single 17th-century three-light chamfered mullion window on each floor, followed by a single-storey dairy that has a smaller 17th-century three-light mullion window, with one light now blocked.

Inside, the house contains a large fireplace with an ashlar segmental arch and joggled voussoirs, along with two circular bake ovens. There are also some chamfered beams and a wooden winder stair located to the left of the large stack.
