Description
The Old Grammar School is a house dating from the early 17th century, with some restoration work carried out in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. It features a timber-frame construction with rendered infill sitting on a coursed rubble plinth, topped by a tile roof. The building has two framed bays aligned north to south, with a brick gable-end stack at the northern end.
The east front has one storey with an attic, which is illuminated by two framed dormer windows that project slightly and have moulded corner posts. The right dormer features pineapple pendants. The ground floor includes a 20th-century restored window to the left, designed to mimic the 17th-century canted oriel window on the right. This oriel has three lights at the front and a single light on each canted side, with moulded mullions, a transom, and a sill supported by three scroll brackets.
The central entrance is highlighted by a gabled framed porch adorned with carved barge-boards and a carved pendant finial. Inside the porch, a moulded tie-beam is supported by three carved brackets, and the dentilled lintel is held up by two scrolled brackets. Each side wall features five open lights with turned balusters. The entrance door is a studded boarded door with ornamental strap hinges and a shaped lintel. The framing is close-studded, with a mid-rail at the ground floor and an additional tier of close-studding in the attic. The gables of the dormers and the porch are each supported by two curved raking struts.
