Description
The Old School House is a former school and schoolmaster's house, now a residential property, believed to have been built in 1841, although a beam inside is dated 1829. It was constructed for Sir Charles Monck and features ashlar stonework with a Welsh slate roof. The building is two stories high with a two-bay arcaded front block and a single-storey former schoolroom at the rear.
The arcade includes a wide elliptical arch on the left and a narrow round-headed arch on the right. Inside the arcade is an original large tripartite sash window with multiple panes. On the first floor, there are three Yorkshire sash windows. The roof is cross-gabled and shallow-pitched, topped with small square end stacks.
On the right side of the building, the narrow end arch of the arcade is on the left, with a wide elliptical arch on the right, which has been filled with 20th-century wood boarding and a small-paned casement window. The former schoolroom is a tall single storey with three 20th-century small-paned casements.
