Description
This is a former estate school, later converted into four cottages now combined into a single residence, dating to around 1800 with 20th-century additions. It was likely built at the direction of Edmund John Chamberlayne. The building is constructed of coursed, squared, and dressed limestone, with a stone slate roof and limestone stacks. The building follows a crescent shape, with a 20th-century extension to the rear left, which is not of particular architectural interest.
The symmetrical facade is two storeys and features a 4:2:4-window arrangement. All windows are glazing-bar casements with fanlights above, set within round-headed surrounds. Two larger windows are framed by plain architraves topped with keystones and imposts, flanking a circular date plaque, the inscription of which is no longer legible. The central entrance has a fielded six-panel door within a plain round-headed architrave including a keystone and imposts. Originally the doorway opened into a through passage. A crest above the door features a horse’s head above a crown, painted on a square background. Round-headed doorways, glazed to match the windows, are located at the far right and far left of the building. The roof is gabled, with 20th-century axial stacks.
The interior has not been inspected.
