Ivy Lodge

Ivy Lodge is a late 17th-century house located on the south side of The Green in Newham. The building is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with a slate roof and brick end stacks on stone bases. It has a two-unit plan and is two storeys and an attic in height. The front elevation has a three-window range. A central 6-panel part-glazed door is set within a 20th-century gabled porch. To the left of the door is a part-glazed door with an overlight and a late 18th-century moulded wood surround and cornice hood. A two-light cross window is on the right, featuring a flat-arched head and keyblock. Similar windows are on the first floor, although they now have 20th-century aluminium frames, with the window to the left being wider and having a similar cemented head. A County Fire Insurance plaque is positioned above the middle first-floor window. The building has quoins, brick eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. A 20th-century brick kitchen extension is located at the rear. Internally, the house retains a complete set of original spine beams. Some are boxed in, but where exposed, they are chamfered with unusual spearhead stops. There is an open fireplace with a bar-stop-chamfered bressumer and a collar-truss roof. The property was formerly thatched and is believed to have been a public house.
