Description
The Old School and School House is a former school and schoolmaster's house built between 1860 and 1862, designed by William Butterfield. It features orange brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, and has plain tile roofs adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The building includes three ridge chimney stacks with chamfered steps.
The schoolmaster's house is a single storey with an attic. It has a projecting porch with a 20th-century door and overlight, along with a 20th-century casement window in an original opening, which is framed by a blue brick pointed arched surround and topped with a half-hipped roof. On either side of the porch are similar 20th-century two-light casement windows. There is also a single storey later addition to the left.
The former schoolroom features a red brick gabled porch with various plank doors attached to the east gable. Above this porch is a circular ashlar window with cusped tracery and iron glazing bars. The south side wall has a single three-light pointed arched window, while the north side wall is distinguished by a blue brick plinth band and four pairs of small lancet windows linked by a continuous ashlar cill band, along with two blue brick bands and a deep ashlar impost band. The rear west gable has two tall two-light pointed arched windows with cusped tracery, complete with ashlar transoms and mullions. There is a linked low single storey block attached to the south-west, and beyond that, a slightly taller single bay block with a chamfered brick projection on the west side, which contains a triple lancet window with cusped tracery and original casements.
Inside, the building retains its original timber roof structure, featuring trusses supported on corbels with unusual bracing above the collar beams, which are decorated with trefoils.
