Description
No. 3 School Lane is a fine example of a very small town house, dated 1701. It is constructed of local brown brick and features a pantile mansard roof with gable parapets. The building has two storeys with attics and includes a parapet with stone coping, a moulded gauged red brick cornice band with dentil enrichment, a gauged band between floors, and cambered window arches. There are two first-floor and one ground-floor flush framed, twelve-paned hung sash windows with stone cills. The house has a brick plinth and a wooden doorcase with reeded pilasters and a blind round-headed fanlight set in a broken pediment, along with an 18th-century half-glazed, panelled door. A plain lead rainwater head is also present. Inside, the house features fielded panelling and a staircase with a 'Chinese' balustrade on the first floor.
