Ivy Bank And Ivy Cottage

This is a late 17th-century house, altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, originally a farmhouse. It is constructed of coursed squared ironstone, with a plain-tile roof and brick end and ridge stacks on stone bases, except for a brick end stack on the left side. The house has a three-unit plan and two storeys with an attic, featuring a three-window front. The entrance front, which faces a yard, has a 20th-century door in a 20th-century window porch. A blocked doorway to the right retains a stop-chamfered wood lintel. A three-light 20th-century casement window is located to the right, with a moulded stone surround indicating the presence of an original mullion window (though the sill has been lowered). A three-light casement is to the left of the door, and a two-light casement is to the far left, both with timber lintels. Two gabled dormer windows flank a small rectangular dormer. Quoins are present, and the gables are stone-coped with kneelers. Attached to the right is a probable late 18th-century cottage constructed of coursed ironstone and limestone rubble with a corrugated asbestos roof and brick end stack. The cottage has a two-unit plan, a two-storey height, and a two-window range. It features a plank door to the right of centre, a three-light casement window to the left, and a one-light window to the right, all with stop-chamfered wood lintels. First-floor windows are three-light casements with wood lintels. The interior of Ivy Bank shows chamfered spine beams. Ivy Cottage has a brick-lined cellar with a stop-chamfered spine beam.
