Description

The Old School House is a building that was originally a school and is now a house, constructed in 1872 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw. It features a timber frame and coursed limestone rubble with machine tile roofs. The layout is T-shaped, with the school section on the right and the gabled former schoolmaster's accommodation on the left. The school is a single storey, while the house has two storeys.

The gable of the house is supported by carved wooden brackets and includes a six-light wooden mullion window on the first floor, with a five-light stone mullion window below to the right and a pointed doorway to the left. The school section has two wooden mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights that extend up as tile-hung dormers projecting through the roof slope, along with a pointed doorway to the right. The right gable end features a three-light cusped window on the first floor and a five-light mullion window below to the right. A prominent tall red brick ridge stack with coupled shafts is located to the left of the school range. The school was built at the expense of the local landowner, Arthur Sparrow.
