Old School House

The Old School House is a schoolhouse that has been converted into a house, built in 1857 by S S Teulon for the Crown Commissioners. It features a later 19th-century bay window and some minor 20th-century alterations, including a colour-wash. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a banded slate roof. It has an approximately square, three-room layout, with a later kitchen extension added to the north, and it is adjacent to a former school to the east.

The structure is a single storey with an attic. The east front has two bays with irregular window placements. It has a chamfered plinth and a flush buttress on the left side, which features tumbled-in brick. The entrance is a chamfered rounded-trefoil shape with a board door that has ornate strap hinges. To the right of the entrance are two ground-floor lancet windows with glazing bars, chamfered jambs, and brick arches. Above the entrance, there is a gabled half-dormer with a brick oriel supported by corbelled brackets, containing a small segmental-headed plate-glass sash beneath a hipped roof. To the right of this, there is a 4-pane segmental-headed attic sash, with a single lancet window to the left, beneath a half-hipped gable. The gables feature tumbled-in brick and stepped eaves, and there is a banded and corniced end stack that is corbelled out from the right gable.

On the left side, there is a narrow 8-pane segmental-headed sash window, and a gabled section with a ground-floor canted bay window that has plate-glass sashes in chamfered reveals, complete with ashlar lintels and sills. Above this is a 4-pane segmental-headed attic sash. The gable details are similar to those on the front. The rear of the building has a 20th-century inserted ground-floor window, a segmental-headed three-light window to the left of the outshut, and a 4-pane attic sash beneath a segmental arch and gable. There is a large projecting stack to the right with tumbled-in brick at the offsets and a corniced shaft.

Inside, the building features a closed-string staircase with a moulded handrail, chamfered newels, and Gothic-style splat balusters with pierced trefoils. There are also arched recesses on the ground floor. The Old School House is one of a series of 19th-century buildings designed by Teulon for the Crown estate.
