Description

The School House is a boarding school building constructed in 1880, likely designed by Henry Hayward of Dover. It is built in a Gothic style with some Romanesque features, using flint with stone dressings and topped with a tiled roof. The building has three storeys and attics, featuring irregularly placed windows. There are sash windows, some of which are mullioned and transomed, while others are round-headed or plain. The end bays project and have gables with some blank arcading, and the center includes hipped dormers. The entrance features a round-headed doorcase that is accessed by a flight of stairs with pierced stone balustrading.

Local climate

School House receives an average of 780 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 59% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
