I saw an old country house on TV called Eggleston Hall that had ivy
growing up it and I would like it on my house.

I would like on that's fast growing and one that changes colours with
the seasons (red in Autumn) can someone please point me in the right
direction.

If it changes colours with the seasons then it's not ivy (Hedera helix).
You may be thinking of Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidaria) or
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia).

Someone else no doubt will common as to whether growing it on a house
wall is a good idea.

Thanks Ben
