Description
The Old School House is a house with a late 18th-century facade that has been altered in the 20th century. The front, which was rendered in the late 20th century, features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a slightly projecting parapet that has a slightly moulded wooden coping. There is a brick stack at the left end of the house. It includes two dormers that have broad projecting eaves and weatherboarded gables. The windows are regularly arranged, featuring two 16-pane glazing bar sashes in open boxes. The central door consists of six fielded panels and has a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The door-case is adorned with plain Doric pilasters and a broken-based pediment. The interior has not been inspected.
