The Old School House

The Old School House is a National school building, now a house, dated 1825 and converted around 1960. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and has a rubble east range, featuring lateral gable stacks and a slate roof. The building showcases a picturesque Tudor Revival style with a single-depth plan and a projecting east wing.

The structure stands two storeys high and has a five-window range. It features label moulds over stone-mullioned windows with chamfered surrounds, which have either flat or arched heads. The south gable is adorned with attached, crenellated octagonal turrets that flank a crenellated gable, which has a three-light two-centre-arched window with intersecting tracery. There is also a panel inscribed "BOYS SCHOOL 1829." The flanking aisles contain blind lancet niches with hood-moulds, and there are corner square stacks.

The east front includes flat-headed three- and one-light windows with label moulds, alongside a six-panel door located to the left of the east wing. This wing is characterized by angle buttresses and a coped gable with a finial, featuring a hood mould over a three-light window with intersecting tracery. The rear elevation facing Church Street has a five-window range with three-light mullion windows that have label moulds and three-centre arched heads on the first floor.

The interior has been altered during its conversion to a house. Overall, it remains an externally complete and fine example of a National School in this architectural style.
