Rousdon Village School And Schoolmaster'S House Including Area Wall To South

Rousdon Village School and the Schoolmaster's House were built around 1880 by Sir Ernest George and T Vaughan. The buildings are constructed of stone rubble with freestone dressings, featuring tile hanging and roofs that are either gabled or half hipped with plain tiles. The school, located to the east, has a hipped roof topped with a tiled spire that includes a timber bell stage. It features both segmental and pointed arch doorways. A gabled projection at the front has a sundial above a large stone mullion and transom window, and there are two large dormers in the central recess. To the west, the schoolmaster's house projects outward, with a tile-hung first floor and a prominent brick chimney stack that rises through the center of the gable. The property also includes a front area wall to the south, which is a low stepped wall made of stone with chamfered coping and squat gate piers that have chamfered corners.
