Description
The Village School Room, built in 1840, is a National School located in Keysoe. It is constructed from orange-colored bricks laid in Flemish bond and features a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends. The front gable is parapeted, while the rear gable has a brick stack with an integral diagonally-set brick shaft. The building has a chamfered brick plinth and a rectangular single-room plan with an entrance at the front and a fireplace at the back, along with an outshut behind the fireplace.
The exterior is a single storey with a gabled front that has brick coping on the parapet, flanked by diagonal buttresses that have brick weathering. The central doorway projects and is framed by a brick architrave with a simple cornice, featuring a plank door and a large four-pane overlight. Above the doorway in the gable is a chamfered rectangular panel with a tablet inscribed 'National School MDCCCXL'. At the top of the gable is a small brick turret-like finial. On either side of the entrance, there are two two-light casements with brick hoodmoulds. The small single-storey rear outshut has a similar hoodmould over a small one-light window.
Inside, the school room has matchboard walls and a ceiled roof, with the fireplace on the end wall boarded over.
