Description
The Schoolhouse, originally the School Master's house, was built in 1871 by R Brandon for A Hornby of the Hook Estate. It has been altered in the late 20th century. The building is constructed from rock-faced rubblestone with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof with crested ridge tiles.
The garden elevation consists of two storeys and two bays, with a short rear wing to the left. A late 20th-century single-storey bay has been added to the left, designed to be in keeping with the original structure. The building has quoining at the angles and chamfered surrounds on the openings. It features two-light windows, with the right-hand ground-floor window replaced by a bow window that includes French doors and a bowed tile-roofed verandah supported by wooden posts and braces, along with a red and black tiled pavement. There is a small pane door leading to the 20th-century bay. An external stack is located at the right end, and there is a ridge stack on the wing.
At the rear, the wing has a two-storey side-outshut on the left, which includes a side buttress and a pointed arched doorway with a hoodmould leading to an internal porch. The porch features a red and black tiled floor, side benches, and an inner board door. The wing has two one-light windows on the ground floor, a slit window above the porch entrance, and another window in the gable, which is blocked and has a date. The right return of the building features a tall one-light stair window on the right.
Inside, there is a closed-string dog-leg stair with stick balusters. The Schoolhouse is part of a group that includes the church and school built by Hornby to serve the villages of Hook and Warsash.
