Description
2 The Village is a former school and schoolmaster’s house, dated 1853. It is built of coursed stone rubble with freestone dressings, in a Gothic style. The building has a steeply pitched tiled roof with stone-coped gable ends. The schoolmaster’s house is two storeys high and L-shaped, with a projecting gabled wing and a gabled semi-dormer. The windows are mullioned, with three and four lights and depressed arch lights above. A pentice roof porch is supported by brackets in the angle of the house. The school building, to the west, has a tall stone gabled bell cote above a rose window, which is itself below a row of lancet windows. A steeply pitched gabled porch with a pointed arch doorway sits on the side. The bell cote bears the date 1853. A four-light traceried window is in the gable end, alongside a stack rising from the side of the gable.
