Village School Attached Wall And Lavatories

The Village School, along with its attached wall and former lavatory block, is a school and schoolmaster's house built in 1840. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone and ashlar, featuring chamfered quoins and a cement tile roof. The building has coped gables with moulded kneelers and an ashlar ridge stack with three diamond plan shafts. A louvred bell-turret with a pyramid roof is located on the ridge. The structure has a cruciform plan and consists of one and two storeys.

On the north elevation, there is a prominent 5-light recessed and chamfered mullioned and transomed window with a returned hoodmould. A projecting gabled bay includes a lean-to on the left, featuring a Tudor-arched doorway with a panelled door. Adjacent is a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullioned window with two transoms and a returned hoodmould, above which is a sunk panel inscribed with the year 1840. The return elevation showcases a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullioned window with a transom, alongside a similar 5-light window and two 3-light windows, all with returned hoodmoulds.

A single-storey bay with a plain parapet runs across the west gable end, containing a 2-light window to the north and west, as well as a 3-light window with a transom and a plain quoined doorway with a plank door. Above this bay, there is a similar 3-light window. To the south, there are two additional 3-light transomed windows.

The wing to the south, originally the headmaster's house, is two storeys high and features two 3-light transomed windows on the ground floor and a pair of cross windows above. There is also an additional lean-to bay to the south that is not of special interest. The wall attached to the southeast connects to the former lavatory block, which is now used for storage. This block is made of squared sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, featuring a raised center part above a louvred ventilator and four doorways to the west, divided by brick piers, each with plank doors that have sawtooth tops.
