Description
School House is an early 18th-century house located on Church Street in Norton St. Philip. It is constructed from roughly coursed squared rubble made of Doulting stone, featuring ashlar stone quoins. The building has a gabled roof covered with Welsh slate, and the gables are coped with finials. There are chimney stacks at the rear.
The house is two to three stories high and has a four-window front, with the entrance located beneath the third window. The entrance is adorned with a heavy edge-moulded flat hood slab supported by carved consoles and fluted edge decoration on the projecting reveals of the porch. The windows are generally 16-pane sash windows set in plain stone frames. The first-floor windows are partly blocked, and a small 4-pane window has been inserted. The fourth window on the second floor is situated under a coped gable that rises from the eaves.
