Description
The School House and Ye Olde School is a house that was formerly a church school, built in 1707. It has undergone significant alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building was designed and constructed by Smith of Warwick at the expense of Francis Boughton. It features Flemish bond brickwork with a stone string course and rusticated quoins at the center and corners. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles, and there are brick ridge stacks.
The structure is U-shaped with wings at the rear, standing two storeys tall with an attic. Originally, it had a layout of 2:3:2 bays, but it has been modified to a 4-window range. The shallow projecting center has the entrance to The School House located in the third bay, which includes a fielded 6-panelled door and an overlight within a moulded wood surround. The ground floor of the center and right sections has altered brickwork and features a 16-pane sash window with a moulded frame and gauged brick flat arches inserted between two bays. Most openings on the first floor have been bricked up, but the center retains a central sash window, along with remnants of a stone panel and volutes below it. The right section has a sash window on the right side.
The left part of the building forms Ye Olde School, with an entrance in a small one-bay addition that has a 20th-century ribbed Tudor arched door and overlight, along with a 2-light 20th-century casement window above. There are also 4-light 20th-century wood mullioned and transomed windows. The right return side has four bays with openings featuring brick segmental arches, most of which are blocked. A 16-pane sash window has been inserted between the first two bays on the ground floor, while the third and fourth bays on the first floor have sash windows. At the rear, the gabled wings have a range from the 19th or 20th century between them. The interior has not been inspected.
