Description

The Old Grammar School is a 17th to 18th century building that has been converted into a private house. It is constructed of stone rubble and has two storeys. The front features a two-storeyed porch with ashlar quoins, an arched entrance that includes an inner panelled door, and a two-light window above the entrance. To the left of the porch, there is a 19th-century window with three lights, where the middle light is wider, accompanied by a three-light window above it that has equal lights. On the right side of the porch, there is a window with three equal lights on each floor, plus an additional two-light window on the upper floor. All windows have plain reveals and square mullions. The rear facade, facing Otley Road, includes three windows with three or four lights, all featuring round arched lights and labels.
