Description

School House is a former school and school house, now a residential property, founded in 1836 by John Shuckburgh. It has undergone slight alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of colourwashed rendered brick and features old tile roofs with rendered end stacks, one to the left of the house and one to the right of the school building. The house, which is T-shaped with a rear wing, stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. The school building is single-storey with a three-window range as well.

Both structures exhibit a simple Gothick style, characterized by four-centred two-light Gothick casements. The house has a central door flanked by two applied Gothick panels within a moulded wood surround. An open porch supported by cast iron features adds to its charm. The school building has a central late 20th-century metal three-light casement. The left side facing the road has a flat-topped gable, while the central porch boasts a colourwashed brick open pedimented gable. A small round-arched window with a keystone is present, along with an elliptical arched doorway on the left return side, which features a late 20th-century studded ribbed door. To the left, there is a Y-traceried pointed window with horizontal glazing bars, and a two-light casement to the right, topped by an inscription panel. The first floor includes a late 20th-century round-arched window. The interior has not been inspected.

Additionally, there is a gatepier and gate, likely dating from around 1906 and possibly designed by Harold A. Peto. This feature is made of limestone ashlar and has a cast-iron gate in the Edwardian Baroque style. It includes a moulded plinth, entablature, and dentil cornice, with projecting front and rear faces that have tall narrow moulded shaped panels. The lower right section features a large volute, while the lower left section has a small volute, topped with a ball finial. The gatepier stands approximately 4 metres high.
