Small house, probably,late C18 or early C19, though incorporating earlier architectural fragments possibly taken from the Church. A long range, of coursed square rubble with stone tiled roof. 1½ storeys, with single dormer. Basically a 3 unit plan, with 2 3-light mullioned windows left of doorway, and a single 2-light window right of it. 1 gable and 1 axial. stack, both polygonal, moulded stone. Western gable contains 2 blank 2-centred arches to ground floor, with quoins and hollow chamfered hood moulds. Above these, and in the gable itself, is a large blank arched recess with hoodmould, possibly a C19 copy. In the back wall of the house, are 2 round arched window openings, with roll moulding and nail head decoration. One appears to be a genuine architectural fragment, the other a C19 copy. This building served as an infants school during the C19.
