Description

The Old School is a former schoolroom that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates from the 18th century and features a stucco exterior with slate roofing and coped verges. The building has an L-shaped plan and is a single storey with four bays. It includes two-light edge-moulded stone-mullioned and transomed windows. There is a central door opening with a stone surround and a six-panelled door. The left return of the building has a similar style. The Old School is included in the heritage register mainly for its historical interest.
