Ilex House

Ilex House is a house, possibly designed by Richard Carver, built around 1840. It features a rendered exterior over rubble, slate roofs, and decorative pierced bargeboards. The building has paired octagonal brick stacks at the gable ends and four pairs on the garden front, with some being dummies. The structure is arranged in a "U" shape, with gabled outer bays and a recessed center that includes a single-storey porch in an Elizabethan style.

The house is two stories tall and has a layout of 1:3:1 bays. The first floor has three-light mullioned windows, while the ground floor features six-light mullioned and transomed windows. To the right of the central single-storey porch, there is a blocked window. The porch itself has decorative pierced bargeboards and a six-panel door beneath a square hood mould, which is a feature shared by all the windows.

On the garden front, there are five bays with three-light windows on the first floor and eight-light mullioned and transomed windows below, along with a central doorway. The returns are unlit and have blind escutcheons in the gable ends. Ilex House was built for the estate manager of Lord Ashburton.
