The School House, With Front Boundary Railings

The School House, with front boundary railings, is a former school that has been converted into a house. It was built in 1840 and reshaped in 1871. The structure is made of local lias stone that has been cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof between coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building is a single storey with an attic and consists of two bays. Below, there are three-light chamfered mullioned windows with square labels, and above, pairs of two-light mullioned windows are set under segmental arched heads in slightly projecting gabled dormers, each supported by three corbel blocks, with slit gable vents above. Between the bays is a part-glazed door in a plain opening with a thin stone lintel. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen. Approximately 3 metres east of the house are the boundary railings, which are about 1 metre high, made of cast iron with spear-head points, along with a pair of simple matching gates that enhance the setting of the house. Originally erected as the village schoolroom in 1840 on the site of a former vicarage, it became the master's house in 1871 when the current school was built opposite.
