Old School Cottage

Old School Cottage, formerly the schoolmistress's house, dates from around 1899 and was designed by Romaine Walker for Mr. Robert Hudson. The lower section is constructed of dressed chalk blocks with sandstone dressings, featuring mullion windows with ovolo mouldings. The upper section is roughcast and colourwashed, with a wooden bressumer and jettied gable ends supported by curved wooden brackets. The roof is covered in plain tiles, with wooden bargeboards and brick chimneys featuring 'V' pilasters and off-set heads. The architecture is described as picturesque. The cottage has one and a half storeys and three bays. The outer bays have four-light windows on the ground floor, while the centre bay features a panelled door set within a four-centred arch with curved spandrels, leading to a two-storey gabled porch. The porch is jettied with shaped brackets and a small modillion cornice, and includes a three-light wooden casement window on the first floor and turned wooden balusters to the ground floor side walls. Other three-light leaded casement windows are present in the gable ends on the first floor.
