Allithwaite Church Of England Primary School Old School House

Allithwaite Church of England Primary School and Old School House is a school and house, likely built in the 1860s by E.G. Paley. The structure features rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, while the south facade of the house is roughcast. The school is a single storey with three bays; the first bay is recessed and lower, while the house is two storeys with one bay. The south facade includes a 20th-century extension to the first bay. The second and third bays have windows with three pointed lights and single-chamfered mullions. There is a lateral stack with weathering and a round shaft between the bays, a gable end stack on the first bay, and a bellcote on the second bay gable end, along with a roof ventilator.

The house features a first-floor sill course, a canted bay window with a hipped stone roof and shouldered lintels, and a first-floor two-light pointed window with a blind tympanum. A lean-to re-entrant porch has a two-light window on the return and a pointed entrance with a hoodmould and head stops. The left return has a three-light plate tracery window with a hoodmould and head stops, along with small-paned glazing. The right return has two-light windows on each floor, and the rear wing has a rainwater head. There are two cross-axial stacks. The north facade has a gabled wing to the house, which includes sashed windows with single glazing bars and flush relieving arches. A narrow bay to the right has a hipped roof, with paired narrow sashes on the ground floor and a first-floor casement. The school retains its original small-paned glazing, with a long 20th-century extension to the end bay. The rear has a coped wall separating the yards of the house and school, interrupted by an outbuilding with a single-pitch roof.
