Description

Ivy Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage located on the west side of Church Lane in West Wycombe. It is constructed of red and grey brick and flint rubble, topped with an old tiled roof that features a weatherboarded south gable. The building is designed in an L shape and stands two storeys high, with two casement windows that include glazing bars. Ivy Cottage is noted for its group value, as it is part of a collection of nearby buildings, including Fern Cottage, and several others numbered 39, 40A, 40, 41, 41A, 42, 42A, 43, 44, and the Christadelphian Chapel.
