Ivy Dene And Former Stables

Ivy Dene and the former stables are a house and stables dated 1677 and 1717, with early 19th-century stables. The building features coursed red sandstone rubble walls and a graduated sandstone slate roof with coped gables and kneelers. There are dressed red sandstone chimney stacks on rebuilt rubble bases. The structure is two storeys high and has four bays, with the stables on the left side consisting of two storeys and three bays.

An off-centre 20th-century door is set in a 17th-century chamfered surround with a dated lintel. The building includes three-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows and smaller fire windows on the upper floor, all under a continuous hoodmould on the ground floor and a continuous dripmould above the upper-floor windows. The stables feature a right panelled door with an overlight in a stone surround and a left segmental-arched cart entrance, along with sash windows that have glazing bars in stone surrounds.

On the right return wall, there is a ground-floor 20th-century window beneath 17th-century windows. The interior contains a segmental-arched inglenook and a beamed ceiling in the principal room. A former built-in panelled court cupboard, also dated 1677, has been relocated to a free-standing position. Additionally, a similar ground-floor stone-arched inglenook has been removed.
