Description
The Old Schoolhouse, originally a schoolroom and master's house, is now a residential property. It features a datestone from 1844, although parts of the building are older, and it was extended in 1870. The structure is built of slatestone rubble with granite dressings and has asbestos slate roofs with gable ends. There is an original brick stack with diagonally set shafts located over the ridge at the junction of the schoolroom and the side wall of the adjoining schoolhouse.
The building has a T-shaped plan, with the schoolroom on the front left, a two-storey gable-ended master's house in the center that projects slightly, and a two-storey gable-ended wing from the 19th or 20th century on the right. The master's house is two rooms deep and features two-light granite chamfered window openings with hoodmoulds in the gable end on each floor. The 19th or 20th-century wing has similar features but includes a stone bay with four lights under a leaded hipped bay roof.
The schoolroom has two pairs of three-light granite chamfered window openings under hoodmoulds. Dormer gables above each schoolroom window may be from the 20th century. All casements are 20th-century plated wood casements. The building also has exposed purlins under slightly projecting eaves and verges, and a cusped ventilator over the entrance doorway, which has a chamfered frame and hood mould in the west gable.
