Description

School House, dated 1851, is a house rendered, likely over slate rubble, with the front covered in asbestos slate up to the first and second storeys. The left end is also hung with asbestos slate. It features projecting end chimney stacks, with the right end stack being truncated, and a low-pitched roof covered with asbestos slate supported by wooden modillion brackets at the doubled eaves cornice.

The house has a two-room plan with a central entrance passage that leads to rear stairs behind the right-hand room. The partition between the passage and the right-hand room has been removed, and the stairs have been altered. There is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to on the right side that contains the kitchen, along with a lean-to garage built at the rear.

The exterior has three storeys and is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a blind central first-floor window. It retains original 16-pane sash windows and has a central doorway with a canopy on original shaped brackets, now topped with a pitched slate roof. The doorway has a 20th-century glazed door with a shallow rectangular fanlight above. A large 20th-century lean-to addition is present on the right, along with a lean-to garage at the rear. The left-hand chimney stack has a slate tablet inscribed with the date 1751.

Inside, the house has been much altered, and there appears to be no original joinery except for a section of the stair's newel post.
