Description
Ivy Cottage is a row of three detached single-storey cottages from the earlier 19th century, built with painted rubble.
The west elevation features Ivy Cottage and a bowling hall on the left. The bowling hall has two bays and a single half-window to the right, while Ivy Cottage has three bays to the left, with a timber and glass door flanked by single windows. The center cottage, Shore Cottage, has six bays with a timber and glass door in the penultimate bay to the right, flanked by single windows, and three single windows to the left. The outer right side of Shore Cottage has seven bays, with four single windows to the left, a timber door to the right, and two windows on the outer right.
The north and south side elevations are gabled. The east elevation includes a gabled addition to Ivy Cottage and a piend-roofed wing for the bowling hall, which contains toilets and an entrance.
The cottages feature 4-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with coped gable heads and ridge stacks, circular cans, stone skews, and a rooflight on Ivy Cottage. The interiors were not seen in 1999.
The site is enclosed by painted rubble boundary walls with iron gates at the entrances.
