Description
The Old School House is a late 17th-century building, significantly altered around 1735 and subsequently modified. Originally a school and master’s house, it was established in 1739 by the Reverend R Boyce, Rector of Berkswell, and later moved to new premises in 1863. The building is constructed of brick laid in a Flemish stretcher bond, with a steeply pitched, renewed tile roof and a brick ridge stack. It follows a double-depth plan.
The exterior presents as a two-storey, three-window range. It features a stone plinth, a plat band over the ground floor, and a top modillioned brick cornice. The central entrance is framed by a doorcase with a bracketed open pediment-hood and a plank door. The windows have sills and pegged small-paned cross-casements with iron opening casements, although the ground floor on the right has a 20th-century bay window with modern glazing; windows also feature 20th-century shutters. A gabled dormer is present on the right return. A rear gabled wing has undergone 20th-century alterations.
The interior is believed to contain a 17th-century staircase.
