Description

Fenham House is a former school built in 1838. It is constructed from tooled squared stone and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features two bays. The right bay is gabled and set forward, showcasing a moulded plinth, tripartite late 19th-century sash windows, moulded kneelers, coping, and a globe finial. The left side of the building has a projecting stepped stack with twin diagonally-set shafts. The left bay includes double doors beneath a segmental arch, with paired late 19th-century sash windows above. There is a chamfered eaves cornice, and the roof is hipped to the left.
