Description

The Old School House is a tall Gothic building dating from around 1870, originally serving as the schoolmaster's house. It has two storeys and features two windows. The structure is built of stone rubble and has a tiled roof. The Gothic casement windows consist of two or three trefoil-headed lights. There are gable ends on the east and west sides, with the east gable framing a decorative cartouche. A turret is located in the northeast corner, which includes a clock face and is topped with a lead pointed roof.
