Description

Old School Cottage is a detached cottage built in the mid-19th century, with a later extension on the left side. The exterior is rendered and whitewashed, topped with a slate roof and featuring a brick chimney on the right. The cottage has two storeys and originally includes three windows. The windows are three-light casements with glazing bars, each light topped with a pointed 'gothick' head. The door, located in the third bay from the right, has panelling that matches the design of the windows.
