The Old School

The Old School is a mid-19th century school building, now converted into dwellings. Constructed of sandstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof, featuring a tiled ridge and stone gable copings, the building is set back. Attached end garages form a reversed U-plan layout with a central rear range. The design is in the Tudor style.

The building is one storey and attic, comprising six bays. The front features six-panel doors with tall, two-pane overlights in a Tudor arch shape, each protected by a hoodmould in bays 2 and 5. Smaller casement windows are present elsewhere, with heads echoing the door arches in the outer bays, and flattened ogee lintels in the inner bays. Four corniced, flat-headed dormers sit above the windows, along with two small rooflights above the doors.

The right return displays four fifteen-pane sashes under flattened ogee arches on the ground floor, with two insertions; two further inserted nine-pane sashes are above. The right, set-back end of the rear range features a tall, three-light stone mullioned and transomed window, and three narrow slits in the gable peak. A lean-to extension is present to the rear of the main range. The left return has inserted fifteen- and nine-pane sashes under plain lintels and a large five-light window in the end of the rear range.

At the rear, a flight of five steps leads to a pair of inserted glazed doors, flanked by twelve-pane sashes.
