Description
Church House School is a former national school that was converted into a house, dated 1859. It features granite rubble walls with larger granite quoins and dressed granite doorways and window surrounds. The roof is made of dry Welsh slate, with gabled ends, deep eaves, and verges, and has small brick ridge stacks capped with granite. The building is designed in Gothic style, with a school room that has a gabled wing at the front, flanked by lean-to entrance porches under a swept-down roof. Originally a single storey, a later floor was inserted.
The west front has a large pointed arched window in the center of the gable, which is a three-light timber mullion window with a cross transom and lacks a chamfer. Below the sill is a tablet inscribed "Manaton National School erected A.D. 1859". Each flanking porch features a pointed arched doorway that is chamfered with pyramid stops and dressed granite voussoirs. The gable ends of the main range have large pointed arched windows with timber mullion and transom frames, and there is a ventilation slit in the gable above. The porches contain small two-light wood casements on the inside walls. The rear wall has two 20th-century casements, with a 20th-century gabled dormer window above. The interior has been floored and converted into a house, but it has not been inspected.
