Description

The School House and Old School House is a mid-19th century building made of striped red and gault brick. It features both two-storey and single-storey sections, topped with gabled peg tiled roofs. The windows are gothic revival timber casements with cinquefoil and trefoil heads, adorned with leaded lights and wrought iron opening lights. The single-storey block has gables above the windows, and both the gables and a lean-to porch are decorated with barge boards. Additionally, there are two tall red brick stacks that display a banding pattern.
