Description
The former Village Room, now a house, was originally built as a village school in 1807 by William Wilkins Junior. It is constructed of brick with a rendered finish and features a hipped slate roof, stone plinth, and dressings. The building is two storeys high with three bays and a single range, and it has a lean-to at the rear. The windows are primarily Gothick casements.
The east front includes a central canted portico with a band and a coped parapet, featuring three round-headed openings. The parapet displays a central plaque inscribed 'A M MDCCCVII', with additional plaques to the left and right bearing inscriptions: 'Hear instruction and be wise and refuse it not. Provb. Ch. VII. v.33' and 'Be pious, patient, honest and industrious', respectively. Beyond the portico, there are single casements, and above, three smaller casements.
At the rear, there is a central single-storey outbuilding made of brick with a slate roof. The north side features a central door with a flat-roofed dormer above, which has a glazing bar sash. The rear elevation also includes a 20th-century conservatory on the left and two casements on the right, with a hipped cross eaves dormer above on the left. The south end has two casements and a central hipped cross eaves dormer above, while the north end has two casements on each floor.
This building is part of the complete Estate Village laid out by Earl Manvers of Thoresby Park between 1807 and 1812.
