Description

The Old School House Village Hall is a village hall with a house at the rear, which was formerly a school and schoolmaster's house, built around 1860, likely by G.E. Street. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with stone dressings, featuring a diamond-shaped roof with red ridge tiles and stone chimneys, giving it a picturesque medieval appearance.

The single-storey hall at the front has three windows with segmental heads, which have been altered with 20th-century casements. There is a large off-set chimney stack at the center of the front, partly hidden by a lean-to that has an entrance in a two-centred arch to the left. The right gable includes a large pointed window with wooden mullions and a transom, along with uniquely cusped top lights and a tympanum decorated with fishscale tiles. The left gable has two smaller similar windows with a mock ventilation slit above.

The house section is 1½ storeys tall with two bays on the left side. The left bay features an external chimney stack positioned over a board door in a two-centred arch. The right bay has a three-light casement with a segmental head on the ground floor, and two similar paired casements on the first floor within a single hipped semi-dormer.
