Description
The Old School is a building that was originally a school and is now a house, dated 1857. It features a T-shaped plan and is constructed of brown brick and ragstone, topped with a fish-tail tiled roof. The building is one storey with an attic, set on a plinth, and has cogged brick eaves leading to a half-hipped roof with a rear stack. Notable architectural elements include a pentice-roofed oriel window on the main block and a projecting two-storey porch. The side elevation has Y-tracery Gothic windows, and there are pierced barge-boards along with an oriel above a traceried half-glazed door that has a four-centred arch, complete with a label hood and the date 1857 inscribed. This cottage shares similar architectural features but likely predates two other buildings associated with the Dene Court estate.
