Description

The Old School House, which now serves as a shop, workshop, and two houses, was built in 1848 for James Roberts West of Alscot Park. This building features a brick structure with ashlar dressings and a fishscale tile roof adorned with enriched cresting. It has an H-plan layout.

The exterior consists of a single-storey central section flanked by two-storey end wings. The building has wide eaves and stone-coped gables with kneelers. Each end of the central section has an entrance in a gabled porch, with doors set in Tudor-arched openings. The inner entrances feature 4-centred arches and 4-panel doors. There are three windows with offset sills, chamfered reveals, and ashlar lintels, arranged as 4:2:4-light transomed casements with leaded glazing. The roof includes two triangular louvred openings and a bellcote at the ridge, flanked by enriched gables and a weather vane. A central panel displays an inscription and the date.

Each gabled wing has inner lateral stacks, with windows featuring ashlar sills and lintels, and leaded glazing. The wings include a transomed canted bay with a hipped roof and a window with a cross-casement above. The outer returns each have a three-window range, with a gabled wing at the rear end and a gabled porch. The windows here include cross-casements and single or two-light casements, while the left return displays a clock face on the gable. The rear of the building has varied gabled wings and stacks, and it is part of a model estate village. The interior has not been inspected.
