Description
The building is a school dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed from squared Doulting rubble and features coped verges and a concrete tile roof, along with restored brick stacks. The facade is nearly symmetrical and consists of two storeys and an attic, with an attic light set in a central coped gable. The windows include two, three, and four-light reserved chamfer stone mullioned designs, each with a stopped label above. The ground floor windows are grouped under a single label with a relieving arch above each opening, and they have leaded casements. To the left, there is a low door opening in a deeply chamfered stone surround, featuring a plank door. There are 20th-century single storey wings projecting at right angles to each side, which are not of interest.
