Description

Former school in Elizabethan idiom. Coursed and snecked coal-measure sandstones on an ashlar plinth, with a slate roof between raised gables. The original building comprised a schoolroom parallel to the road, the dwelling forming a right-angled wing to the rear. Symmetrical, with two projecting gabled bays to the front with 2-light stone mullioned windows, and a central twin 4-light window stone mullioned with a transom. Twin 4-light window in the S gable, the gable having pronounced kneelers and a roundel with running mouchettes above. Two C20 first floor windows. Tall pitched-roof bellcote at the original N gable end, and the original entrance between a thickening of the wall carrying the bellcote under, now incorporated in the 1905 work. This extension provides a new 3-centred door under a raised gable, and a projecting N wing repeating the design of the S gable and extended to the rear, with mullioned and transomed stone windows. The schoolhouse has a basket-headed door and 2-light mullioned and transomed windows, the upper floor lit by a small raised and gabled dormer, jettied on a moulded corbel table. Three tall octagonal stacks central between the schoolroom and house, and two similar stacks on the E gable end.

The interior has been altered by the insertion of a floor.
