The left gable features a canted bay with a Swithland slate roof and a two-light window above, with a stone tablet inscribed 'School House MDCCCLX'. There is a 20th-century garage extension to the right, also with a Swithland slate roof, and 20th-century extensions at the rear. In the front garden, there is an ashlar bell-cote and bell from the roof of the original school, which dates to around 1840.
