Description

This is a house with an attached schoolroom, built at right angles to the road and dated 1828 on a plaque on the eastern gable end. The structure is made of coursed, squared rubble with quoins. The two-storey, three-bay house features a graduated slate roof with stone copings, kneelers, and end chimneys. The central doorway leads to a gabled porch with a pointed head and hoodmould. There are tall cross-windows on either side of the porch, each with a reduced height version above, flanking a central trompe l'oeil window. The single-storey schoolroom to the east has a graduated slate roof and a brick end chimney. Its central porch and two tall windows on either side match those of the house, although the door is a 20th-century part-glazed design. All windows have chamfered stone surrounds, square heads, hoodmoulds, and label stops.

School sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,230 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 59 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 98% of listed buildings. Of these, 37 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
