Description
Old Church House is a former school built around 1840 to 1850. It is constructed of red brick featuring a diaper pattern of blue glazed headers. The roof is ridged, gabled, and recently tiled, with brick coped gables. There is a diagonal red brick central chimney shaft, and the eaves are corbelled. The building has four Gothic windows set in reveals of two orders, with glazing in square panes. At each end, there are gabled porches with shoulder-headed door arches. The property has undergone modern extensions and alterations.
