Description
The Old Convent is a house from the mid-19th century, built of Charnwood granite rubble with a plain tiled roof and three brick ridge stacks, one of which is set transversely. The building has two storeys and features a four-window range, with a mix of single-light and two-light windows that have four-centred-arched heads within rectangular surrounds, some of which include glazing bars.
To the right of the left-hand bay is an arched-headed entrance that has a plank door with decorative hinges. There is a gabled extension on the left side and an outshut on the right, both featuring a similar doorway and a window above. At the rear, there are gabled projections, one of which has a lateral chimney stack made of Charnwood granite rubble.
Historically, this building served as a Roman Catholic convent and school.
