The former Ivanhoe House.

As close as we can get to the former Ivanhoe House with the Google StreetView car. The building with the tower must be the house formerly known as Ivanhoe House / Google Earth.

Immediately north of a fish pond in Cliftonthorpe, 1 km SE of Smisby, in an area that is now in the north of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, was located Ivanhoe House, according to the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1886 but based on surveying done in 1881-82. When the map was issued in 1904 (revised 1901), Ivanhoe House no longer had a name indicated (see Maps section below).
