Old School House

The Old School House is a village school that has been converted into four houses. It was built in 1840, with a west extension added in 1892 and an east gable featuring a Victoria commemoration clock in a turret added in 1897. The conversion to houses occurred around 1980. The building is constructed from uncoursed flints with red brick used for the dressings around doors, windows, quoins, and verges. The east gable clock turret has stone dressings. The steep slate roofs are adorned with bands of spade-shaped slates, and there is a shingled spire and vane on the central cupola. The structure has an H-plan layout with one and a half storeys, featuring a lower recessed central part and gabled flanking wings. The front has three windows, each with a small two-light upper window in the gable, and a four-light gabled dormer in the centre of the roof slope. There is a gabled open porch leading to the door on the right of centre. The windows are four-light Gothic wooden casements with leaded glazing set in chamfered brick openings, which have brick labels above. The gable windows have a similar treatment. The heads of the front windows have been lowered, leaving the labels higher. The higher one and a half storeys of the west extension match the original building. This structure is included for its group value.
