Description
The L-plan service range to Ivy Towers is a building with rubble walls, which are partly whitewashed and partly roughcast. It features steeply pitched slate roofs, with the northeast and southwest range being higher. There are brick and rubble chimney stacks, and each arm of the building has two slate-hung dormers with casement windows. The ground floor displays various types of windows, along with boarded and half-glazed doors. The end wall is made of rubble, with brick rebuilding on the right side and roughcast on the gabled rear.
At the time of inspection in October 1985, the building was in very poor condition. Internally, one upper cruck remains.
