Description
The building comprises a village hall and adjoining house, originally a school and master's house, dating from the late 19th century. It is constructed of brick with granite dressings, brick stacks, red tile hanging, and a red tile roof. The school is a large block facing south-east, with a projecting wing at the south-west end. The master’s house is a crosswing projecting forward from the right end. The school buildings are single-storey, while the master's house is two-storey, with a stack between the two sections. The design is in the Arts and Crafts style.
The school hall has two tall, square-headed windows with timber mullions and transoms. The half-hipped gable end of the school wing features an arched window with a brick pointed arch interrupted by blocks of granite, with a 3-light mullioned window where the outer lights have pointed heads. A 20th-century entrance lobby has been added to the left gable end of the school. Above the mullion-and-transom windows are heavy pointed glazing bars, above which is a central ogival light, and the apex of the roof is extended on brackets to shelter a bell. The school roof incorporates bands and lozenge shapes of fish-scale clay tiles, along with crested ridge tiles.
The front gable end of the master's house has a ground floor 3-light mullion-and-transom window below a slate-hung arched tympanum, two lancets to the first floor, and a slate-hung top part of the gable. A buttress projects at the right-hand corner. On the north-east return, the house's entrance door has ornate strap hinges and a segmental-headed arch. A stair turret projects square from the ground floor, with granite broaches at the first floor to the splayed corners of the slate-hung first floor, which has a hipped roof. A 3-light window is located at the right end in a segmental-headed arch. A disused stack serving the first floor projects from the wall on stone corbels to the left of the stair turret. The old school house has a 20th-century replacement tile roof. Granite blocks are used in arched apertures and as springers for segmental arches, and all windows are timber. A chamfered plinth and a low band of diagonally-set bricks run around the entire buildings. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are present.
