Description
This is an 18th-century school, later converted into a domestic house. It is constructed of brick with a red tile roof. The building is two stories high with an attic, and has a four-bay facade. The windows are 19th-century casements set in the original openings, with segmental arches over those on the ground floor. The doorway is slightly off-center. A plain brick string course runs along the gable walls at eaves level. The gables have parapets with brick tumble and internal gable stacks. There is one small attic casement in each gable. A lean-to conservatory has been added to the rear facade.
