Description

Ivy Fold is a former vicarage that has been converted into three houses. It dates from the mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the late 17th century and the 20th century. The building is constructed from slobbered square rubble with stone dressings and has a slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan consisting of two main sections. The left wing is dated 1669 and features two storeys and two bays. The entrance on the right has a moulded surround and a segmental arch above a decorated lintel inscribed with "L," referring to Anthony Lister, the vicar from 1641 to 1686, and his wife Elizabeth. The door was added around 1970. The windows are double chamfered with ovolo mullions, including a four-light window on the ground floor with a hood mould and a two-light window immediately to the left of the entrance, which also has a hood mould that rises over the entrance. The upper floor has a mix of three-light and two-light windows. There is a right-of-centre ridge stack.

The right wing, also from the mid-17th century, has alterations dated 1677 and features a lobby entry. It has two storeys and three bays. The entrance is left-of-centre with a moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed "E I L," referring to John Lister, Anthony's son. The door here is also a plank door from around 1970. The ground floor includes a five-light double chamfered ovolo mullioned window on the left and two two-light double chamfered cavetto mullioned windows to the right, with a continuous hood mould that rises over the entrance. The upper floor has four windows with chamfered mullions: a five-light, a single light, a three-light, and a stepped three-light window within an arched chamfered surround. There is a gable end ridge and a left-of-centre ridge stack.

Inside, the left wing features a mid-17th century fireplace with a moulded surround and 15 voussoirs, along with a beehive oven to the left. The right wing has a similar fireplace but with jambs added around 1970. There is a round-headed entrance to the left and a ridge. The right-hand plank door has strap hinges. On the upper floor, there is a chamfered surround to the fireplace with plaster moulding above inscribed with "NVNQVAM.MINVS.SOLVS QVAM.C VUM.SOLVS. ANTHONY.LISTER.1652," which translates to "Never less lonely than when alone."
