Ivy Dene Ryedale

Ivy Dene is a pair of cottages, originally three, dating from the 18th century and later altered and partially raised. They are constructed of dressed limestone with a pantile roof and brick stacks. The cottages are two stories high with three-bay fronts. The right bay of Ivy Dene has been raised.

The Ryedale cottage features a plank door with a small-pane tripartite sash window to the left and a 2-light, large-pane horizontal-sliding sash window to the right. The first-floor windows match those on the ground floor, with the left windows having painted stone sills. The door and the left ground-floor window have painted tooled lintels, while the other lintels are made of painted timber. There is a stack located to the right of the center.

Ivy Dene has a part-glazed, four-panel door to the right of a three-light, large-pane horizontal-sliding sash window, which has a painted timber lintel. A similar window is located above. In the taller end, a painted lintel remains from a blocked doorway of the third cottage. Both the ground and first-floor windows are 6-pane sashes with painted stone sills and painted lintels, and there are end stacks.

These cottages were associated with the Wrelton Iron Foundry, which operated from Foundry Farmhouse in the second half of the 19th century. The cottages are included for their group value.
