Description
The Old School House is a house dated 1605 above the door, likely indicating the rebuilding of an earlier timber-framed structure. It was remodeled in the mid-19th century and refurbished with new windows in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has a clay tile roof with an integral coursed rubble end stack.
Inside, there are two rooms: a single bay room to the west with a fireplace in the east wall, and a two-bay room to the east, also featuring a fireplace in the east wall, which is accessed from the main door on the south side. The house has two storeys and three windows, with 20th-century casements. There is a ghost of an earlier window on the ground floor to the right, a small 17th-century loop window to the left of center, and a 17th-century mullioned window on the left gable end. The central doorway has a cambered head with panelled spandrels.
The interior features two curved cruck trusses joined at the apex by a yoke that supports a ridge piece, along with a partially restored 17th-century stone fireplace.
