Description

The Old School House is a house dated 1733, constructed from coursed ironstone rubble with a plain tile roof and brick end stacks. It features a two-unit central staircase plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic, presenting a three-window range. A glazed door, slightly to the left of center, is set within a 20th-century glazed porch. Above the door is a narrow window, with 20th-century two-light casements on both the ground and first floors to the left and right. A 20th-century roof dormer is also present. The building has quoins and stone coped gables. The interior includes chamfered spine beams.
