The School House

The School House is a school and master's house, dating to 1851. It was built for, and endowed by, Charles Chambers. The building is constructed of ironstone ashlar with a tile roof featuring bands of fish scale tiles and ridge cresting. The main roof has coped gable parapets with kneelers and a stone stack. The design is in the Gothic Revival style, with a T-plan incorporating a cross wing on the right.

The former schoolroom is a single-storey, three-window range. The main house is one storey and attic, with a one-window range. The entrance is in an angled position, featuring a stone and painted wood glazed porch with an archway and flanking trefoiled lights, all under a straight head. The gable above has a large septfoiled triangle and elaborate pierced cusped bargeboards. The left side has three trefoiled lights, with glazed spandrels throughout. Inside, a stone arched doorway is flanked by a Gothic four-panelled door with a trefoil above. Schoolroom windows are similarly detailed, with straight heads. Gable hood moulds are present.

The house features a three-light mullioned and transomed window; the window above has a hood mould with foliage stops. All hood moulds extend unusually far down the sides of the windows. A datestone in the apex of the gable displays a quatrefoil panel, bearing the date and the initials CC RN. The building has elaborate pierced and cusped bargeboards with quatrefoils and pendants. The right return side has a slightly projecting gabled centre with a two-light mullioned window. The first floor features a single cinqfoiled lancet in a straight head with a hood mould and foliage stops. The apex of the gable has a heraldic quatrefoil panel. A stack comprises three chamfered square ashlar shafts with a continuous cornice. The left and right sections are defined by a string course. The rear elevation is largely similar to the front.

A simple porch with a catslide roof and a plank door with a small lancet glazed panel is located on the right return side. Ground floor windows have three lights, with hood moulds continued across the wall. The interior has not been inspected. The building is described as a good quality, well-detailed, and almost unaltered example.
