Description
Alport House is a south wing of the former Alport School, dating to 1815 and now used as a dwelling. It forms part of a symmetrical group of buildings with The Old School House and Alport Cottage. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brown brickwork with a grey slate roof. It is 1½ storeys high, with two windows to the lower storey at the front. Four plain brick pilasters divide the front into three panels, containing a boarded oak door and two replaced six-pane casements, all under gauged brick flat arches with keystones. The parapet is divided into panels, with a dentilled band at its base and a moulded stone coping. A stone plaque above the door is inscribed: “This addition to the School was made by the Trustees [for the] Charity 1815 in the hope that all the Children of the Poor of Malpas Parish may be educated in the Religious Principles of the established Church.” A central brick chimney is present. The south end features a replaced six-pane casement, a door, a staircase window that breaks the dentilled band, and two hipped dormers with four-pane casements, also replaced. The interior has not been inspected.
