Is there an effective way to remove the strange patterns left on a
painted
brick wall by ivy?

Yes

Intend to clean and repaint the wall in due course.

That's it.

Use a wire brush (by hand) , but it's very hard to get rid of every
bit, especially on old stone. Some of them will show through unless you
use a textured paint.

Is there anything wrong with just using a decent pressure washer ?
