Description

The School House is a house from the first half of the 17th century, constructed from knapped and coursed clunch and flint with brick dressings, topped by a red pantiled roof. It features two-storey single window wings and a two-storey central section with an attic and a projecting porch. The ground floor has a brick archway for the porch, complete with imposts and a central keystone. There is one brick-dressed window on the first floor and one in the attic, both featuring brick drip moulds. The building has brick rusticated quoins and kneelers, a brick lozenge in the gable, and a coped parapet with a two-shaft stack at the apex.

The west wing is made of coursed rubble flint, while the east wing is constructed from squared coursed clunch. Each wing has one window on the ground floor and one on the first floor, both with later brick dressings. All windows have been replaced with late 20th-century aluminium framed top-hung casement insertions. The building also includes brick quoins, a dogtooth eaves cornice, and a kneeler on the west gable only, along with two end stacks.
