Description

The building is a former Sunday School, now a house, dated 1805. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The structure features quoins, a band, a stone gutter, and coped gables with kneelers. It is two storeys high on the north side and three storeys on the south side, with the north facade facing the road.

The facade has three bays of double chamfered mullioned windows, with doorways at either end. The left doorway has an inscribed tablet above it that reads: "Train up a Child in the way he should go and, when he is old he will not depart from it. prov: XXII.6 1805 Thos. Ashworth Sculp." The first two bays feature three-light windows on each floor, while the third bay has a two-light window on the first floor and a door entry to the former school room.

Both floors have Venetian windows with moulded imposts and dropped keystones. The rear of the building has a band above the basement and three bays of windows on the first and second floors, with four-light windows above (two mullions removed). The other two bays have six-light windows with a four-light window above. The right-hand return wall has a Venetian window on both floors, and there is a central stack at the ridge.
