Description
The Old School House is a house dating from the 16th or 17th century, with some parts rebuilt in the mid-19th century. It features substantial box timber framing and red brick with brick dressings. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with plain tiles, featuring overhanging eaves and a large central brick ridge stack topped with three diamond-set brick pots. The building has two storeys and two bays.
The street-facing elevation includes an off-centre plank door that is sheltered by a bracketed gabled porch roof. On either side of the door are two-light small pane casement windows, each with brick hoodmoulds above. There are two narrower similar windows above, one located over the door and the other above the southern window. The gable walls also have similar windows, with mock timber framing in the gables. The rear wall is entirely timber framed, and the interior is reputed to have an impressive early fireplace.
