Ivy Lodge. Lodge, later farmhouse and now private house. Probably cicra 1806 with substantial late 19th century additions. Stone rubble. Slated roofs entirely concealed by parapets, except in late 19th century farm building to right. Red brick chimneys at rear. 2 storeys. The original lodge takes the form of a Gothic gatehouse, its slightly recessed centre with a wide carriage-gate having a moulded, almost 4-centred arch; the latter is unusual in that the sides are straight. Within the opening are cast-iron gates hanging from open-work gateposts, all of them decorated with quatrefoils and trefoils. Inside, the arch has ribbed vault and at either side is a moulded doorway with pointed arch and studded panelled door. At rear, 4-centred arch matching that at the front. To left of the front arch is a slit window and to right a small wood casement. In the upper storey are 3 slits in the form of crosses, the ends of the arms developed as small circles. Tall battlemented parapet on top, front and back. To left is a square tower, apparently added in late 19th century along with substantial living accommodation at rear. Front is battlemented to match the gatehouse. 2-storeyed canted bay window also battlemented; sashes throughout, those in centre lights with margin-panes. Long plain former farm building to right; a single wood casement window with glazing bars at left-hand end of upper storey. HISTORICAL NOTE: the lodge is said to have belonged to Yeotown House, built by RN Incledon in 1806. Drawing of Yeotown House, but not the lodge, in North Devon Athenaeum. Date listed: 1st December 1977.
