Description
The School House, originally built around 1600 and later converted into two dwellings and a private school, features a timber frame with plastered walls and a black glazed pantiled roof. The building is L-shaped, with an early three-cell range on the left and a 19th-century range at the front. It stands two storeys high, with a central entrance that has an open gabled porch. Flanking the entrance are three-light timber and metal glazing bar casements on both the ground and first floors, which also have hoodboards, a plinth, and boxed eaves.
At the right end, there is an internal cross axial ridge stack and pentice boards. The roof is hipped to the left over the early bays, which include a rear entrance featuring a half-glazed and half-panelled door, along with mixed two and three-light casements and a central ridge stack. The rear gable end has an external stack with offsets and a pantiled oven outshut. A 20th-century lean-to has been added behind the early range.
Inside, the building showcases close studding, chamfered storey posts, and mid-rail, as well as a stop-chamfered binding beam. The first floor displays arched bracing in the original end walls and from jowled posts to cambered tie beams.
