Ivydale

Ivydale is a 17th-century building featuring timber framing with brick nogging and a tiled roof adorned with terracotta ridge tiles and finials on the gable ends, dormers, and porch. It has brick chimneys and is one storey high with an attic. The front elevation has an entrance that is offset to the left, leading to a gabled porch with barge boards. The window openings contain 20th-century joinery. There are three gabled dormers with tile-clad sides, barge-boards, and diamond-pane casement windows. To the right, there is a lower brick single-storey former outbuilding. At the rear, there is a wing framed in squarish panels with diagonal braces and brick nogging, which has been extended on both sides. The openings in this section also feature 20th-century joinery.

The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan with an additional room to the left of the entrance. It retains much of the character from the 17th-century modifications. The ground floor features an almost complete set of plank-and-latch doors with shaped strap hinges. Two principal rooms are separated by a timber-framed wall that does not align with the ceiling, which has heavy chamfered principal beams. One room includes an inglenook with a heavy bressummer and doors leading to former service areas in the rear wing. The other room contains a staircase with a heavy moulded rail, closed string, and shaped splat balusters. The room to the left of the entrance has a ceiling beam that reflects 17th-century character. Chimney breasts are visible in the attic rooms, but the inspection of roof timbers was not possible during the 1996 survey.
