Description
Old School Cottage is a schoolmaster's house that has been converted into a cottage. It was built in 1864 at the expense of the 2nd Marquis of Westminster and is attached to the former school, which is now the Mission Hall. The building is designed in the Jacobethan style and constructed from squared snecked red sandstone with a graded grey slate roof. It has one and a half storeys and features two windows, along with two rectangular diminishing chimneys on the ridge, which have rendered stacks on moulded stone plinths.
The entrance consists of a boarded door with a rectangular three-pane fanlight above it, which has a label. To the left of the door, there is a two-light four-pane casement window on each storey, with the upper window set in a gabled half-dormer. To the right, there is a slightly projecting cross-wing that includes a two-light four-pane casement window under a label on each storey. The right end of the building has a boarded door, with a two-light four-pane casement window to the left, a one-light two-pane casement window to the right, and a two-light four-pane casement window above the doorway, all featuring labels. The house and the former school were designed as a cohesive architectural composition. The interior has not been inspected.
