Description

School House is a house built in 1867, commissioned by John Dent of Sudeley Castle. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone, with some dressings in pink stone, and features a stone slate roof with coped gables. The building has an L-plan layout with one gable facing the street and is one storey high with an attic. It includes various two or three-light casements with horizontal bars set in chamfered mullions.

To the street, there is a one-storey hexagonal bay topped with a hipped stone capping. A buttressed porch is located in the internal angle, featuring a pointed arch that contains a plank door with strap hinges. On the left return wall, there is a commemorative panel that notes this building as the Church School, which was built and endowed by John Dent and opened in 1868. Adjacent to this panel is a 'nodding ogee' tabernacle on an oriel bracket, which holds a figure of Christ and bears the inscription 'Suffer the little children to come unto me'. The building also retains its original castellated cast-iron rainwater heads. This well-ordered and maintained Victorian structure is in the Cotswold tradition and serves as an attractive introduction to the street. It was originally built as the head teacher's house for the adjacent school.
