Description
Ivy House, formerly known as Ivy House Farm House, is a farmhouse located 4 metres northwest of its front boundary railings. It is believed to date from the 18th century and is constructed from locally sourced stone that has been cut and squared. The roof is made of plain clay tiles, featuring a hipped east gable and a simple west gable, along with brick chimney stacks.
The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with a single-storey, two-bay addition on the west gable. Most of the windows are wood frame with iron opening lights and leaded glass, set under exposed limber lintels. The lower bays one and two have plain casements, while lower bay three features a six-panel door with glazed top panels, which is topped by a moulded flat timber hood supported by a curved iron bracket. The extension includes a four-light reserve chamfered mullioned window with a label and a two-light leaded casement.
The property is complemented by wrought iron railings that stand about one metre high, featuring waisted points and urn finials at intervals, along with matching gates. These railings are important to the setting of the house. The interior has not been seen.
