Description

The Old School House is a house that was formerly a school and school house, built around 1840 to 1850. It is constructed from local stone and flint rubble, featuring Hamstone ashlar quoins and detailing. The building has stone rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brick and a slate roof. The structure faces north-east and has a two-room plan house on the right (north-west), with both rooms having a rear lateral stack. The entrance is located at the rear. To the left is a single-storey school room that projects slightly from the house, which has also been converted for domestic use. The house is two storeys tall and designed in the Tudor Gothic style.

The exterior features a regular three-window front with Hamstone two-light windows that have segmental headed lights and hoodmoulds, containing rectangular panes of leaded glass. The right-hand bay is recessed from the main front. The roof of the house is gable-ended, with shaped kneelers, coping, and apex finials. The former schoolroom has a central doorway with its original diagonal plank door, set behind a gabled porch with a segmental headed outer arch. This doorway is flanked by three-light Hamstone windows similar to those on the house, but these contain plain glass. The left end of the schoolroom features a large 20th-century window, and the roof above is also gable-ended. The interior has not been inspected.
