Description
The Village School and Schoolmaster's House, along with the railings surrounding the property, were built in 1864 with an extension added around 1880. Constructed from ashlar with a Welsh slate roof, the building is designed in the High Victorian Gothic style. The schoolmaster's house is located to the west, while the school, featuring a large open schoolroom, is to the east with an extension to the north.
The school is a single tall storey, showcasing a central three-light transomed window flanked by paired trefoil-headed windows. There is an oriel window on the right gable end, and the entrance on the left consists of a board door beneath a hoodmould with worn label stops. Above the entrance is a plaque that reads, "Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth." To the left, there is a three-light window with a lintel inscribed "1864," and a two-light half-dormer above it. The extreme left reveals the gable end of the schoolmaster's house, which features a bay window and paired trefoil-headed windows above.
The schoolmaster's house is two storeys tall, with three first-floor windows and an outshut to the left. The central entrance has a board door beneath an overlight, set within a stone doorcase and flanked by three-light mullion windows. There is a two-light mullion window in the outshut. On the first floor, the house has single-light trefoil-headed windows flanked by paired trefoil-headed windows in gablets, along with gable coping. The left end has a stack, and there is another stack rising through the rear pitch of the roof.
