Description

The Old School House is a house that likely dates from the mid-17th century and was extended in the 19th century to create a former school in a parallel range at the back. The building has a gable end facing the street and is constructed from coursed squared rubble throughout. The original 17th-century part features a five-window range with a three-unit plan, standing two storeys tall with attics. It has three and two-light casement windows, all with chamfered wood lintels that have ornate stops. Above, there are three hipped gabled dormers, and the gables are coped with large stepped stones. A tall canted bay window with ovolo moulded mullions is located in the gable wall.

The 19th-century range at the rear has a coped gable on the left, which contains a large three-light window with a cambered head on the ground floor. The central ridge features a doorway flanked by two small lights leading to the hall, with a dormer window above. To the right, there is another gable with a canted bay window and a top-light opening window beneath a small roof that projects on brackets. A casement window is located in the gable above. The street-facing gable has an early 20th-century bay window, along with coping and a finial.
