Description

Ive Bank is a house built in the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It features painted roughcast walls and a graduated greenslate roof, complemented by banded grey sandstone chimney stacks at the gable ends. The chimney stack on the extension is made of reconstituted stone designed to match the original stacks. The house is two storeys high and has two bays, with a single-bay extension on the lower left side. The entrance includes a top-glazed panelled door set in a painted stone surround. The windows are sash style with glazing bars; the left side has double sash windows, all framed in painted stone surrounds. The extension also has similar sash windows.

It experiences an average of 55 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
