Description
The building is a school house with an adjoining barn and byre, dating from the 17th century, with the barn on the left and the byre on the right being later additions. All three structures are made of coursed squared rubble with quoins and feature a graduated slate roof. The school house is two storeys high and has a small lean-to on the south side.
The house has three bays, with a central plank door, a four-light window to the left, and a two-light window along with a fire window to the right. There is a continuous hoodmould with labels over the ground-floor openings. On the first floor, there is one three-light window and two two-light windows, all of which are stone-mullioned with chamfered surrounds. The building is topped with stepped and corniced stone end chimneys.
The white-washed two-bay byre features a plank door and a casement window, which has been inserted into a part-blocked doorway on the ground floor, along with a casement window above. It also has a stone end chimney. The two-bay barn includes a wagon opening with a smaller door to the left, both made of planks, and there is a plank door in the lean-to.
