Description
The Old School is a former school building that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid-19th century and is designed in a traditional style. The structure features stone walls, a slate roof, and a stone chimney stack. It is one storey high with attics and has a later addition at the rear.
The main elevation includes a porch with a four-centred arched doorway, which has been built up to accommodate a modern lead light window. On the ground floor, there are two two-light stone mullioned windows with lead lights. The attic features one gabled dormer with casements that also have lead lights. Additionally, there is a single-storey extension on the north side, which has a slate roof and a part-glazed door.
