The Old School House

The Old School House is a school and schoolhouse, now a house, built around 1830. It features colourwashed rough-cast over cob and stone, with a gabled thatch roof and rendered brick end stacks. The building has a two-unit schoolhouse on the left side and a schoolroom that forms a cross wing on the right. The schoolhouse is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical three-window range. There is a 20th-century door and porch at the center, with a 19th-century plank inner door set in a moulded wood architrave. The early 19th-century three-light wood-mullioned casements have flat rendered arches and original fittings. Above, half dormers feature early 19th-century Gothic-style two-light casements with leaded-lights and Y-tracery glazing bars in the spandrels. At the rear, there is a 20th-century door and a similar Gothic-style window on the first floor. The one-storey schoolroom to the right has a mid-19th-century four-panelled door on its left side wall, adjacent to the front gabled end of the schoolhouse, and a gablet over an early 19th-century three-light wood-mullioned and transomed window with original fittings and leaded-lights. Inside, there are early 19th-century plank doors and an A-frame roof with pegged collars.
