The Close The Little House The Old School House

The Close, The Little House, and The Old School House are now three dwellings located on Quality Street in Merstham. The back part, known as The Close and The Little House, consists of almshouses that were rebuilt in 1816. A tablet on the building notes that "This Poorhouse was rebuilt and the land given by Hylton Joliffe Esq. 1816." The structure is two storeys high with seven windows, built of red brick with a tiled roof and casement windows. The main front features a porch with a room above, which is now tile-hung and has a half-hipped gable.

Facing the street is the old village school, which has a half-H-shaped design. The north-west wing is part of a timber-framed building that retains ceiling timbers inside but has been rebuilt on the outside. This wing is also two storeys tall, with two windows facing south and one window facing west, constructed of red brick with grey headers and featuring church windows. The south-west wing, which is similar in style, is entirely made of red brick and was likely built after 1847. The connecting portion between the wings has one storey and an attic, with one window.
