The Old School House

The Old School House is a house that was formerly a village school, built around 1812 by James Wyatt for the Dowager Lady Knightley. It is constructed from coursed squared ironstone and features slate roofs with stone internal stacks. The building has a T-plan layout and is two storeys high, with a central one-window section flanked by symmetrical one-storey and attic wings that each have two windows.

The entrance features a Gothick panelled door set in a chamfered stone surround with a four-centred head, located within a one-storey porch that has a chamfered doorway and a four-centred head with a hood mould. Above the entrance, the first-floor window is a two-light leaded window with a pointed head, Y-tracery, a transom, and a hood mould with label stops, flanked by blank shields. The building has a plain stone coped parapet with a string course below. The wings contain stone mullion and transom windows with diamond-pane leaded lights and hood moulds, and the gables are stone coped with kneelers. There is a 20th-century rear extension, and the interior includes a bread oven.
