Description
The Old School is a former primary school, now a house, built in 1831 by John Dobson. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof. The building features an L-shaped layout, with a school room and a former schoolmaster's house. It has four irregular bays; the three left bays are one tall storey high and have wooden cross casement windows set in chamfered surrounds. The right bay is now two storeys, with a 20th-century 24-pane sash window on the ground floor and a casement window above.
The roof is gabled with flat coping, and it has closely spaced moulded corbels supporting the eaves. There is a stone corniced ridge stack that is conjoined. A mid-20th-century addition on the left return is not considered of special interest.
