You know, I even sifted through the bookshelves and solved folder for awhile because I thought, man I'm gonna feel dumb if someone already asked about this one! I'm very glad I know the title now and I appreciate the help!

The introduction to this group kind of makes it sound like posting a query is the last resort.
I believe it was set in the countryside, about a young boy, possibly an orphan (?) who goes to live in a mysterious house. If I remember correctly, which is questionable, it is an uncle...great-uncle's house? I distinctly remember the kid describing how objects mysteriously moved while he wasn't looking and things scurrying to and from without being seen. I do not remember what these creatures were.
The book cover is still the most distinctive to me. It was covered in ivy, front to back. I believe on the front it had the ivy pulled back to reveal wood or something?
Please, please, please help. I wish I remembered anything else about this book. I have been searching for it for several years now and have finally come to my wits end.
