School House

This is a former village school and master's house, dating from 1857. It has been converted into three dwellings in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has graduated green slate roofs and ashlar chimney stacks. It is designed in the Tudor style.

The main part of the building is a long, single-storey block with a cross-gabled wing projecting to the right (the former master’s house, now No. 17), and a former gabled porch on the left (now part of No. 19). The central block has four bays; a truncated external chimney with a dated plaque stands in the centre. Flanking the chimney are chamfered doorways with hood moulds stepped up over blank shields. One doorway has been moved from its original position in the porch. Three 20th-century three-light casement windows are set in altered chamfered surrounds. The eaves have been raised and four hip-roofed dormers have been inserted into the roof. The steeply-pitched roof has a truncated ridge stack in the centre and tall cylindrical end stacks. A small gabled porch on the left now contains a 20th-century three-light window and a projecting gabled bellcote with a single pointed opening.

The two-storey wing on the right has a cross window on the ground floor and a two-light window above, both under hood moulds. It features a coped gable with square kneelers, a transverse ridge chimney with three cylindrical stacks, and a chamfered doorway in the right return. Later 20th-century additions to the rear are of no particular note. The building is included on the list for its group value.
