Description
The Old Grammar School is a former school building that has been converted into four dwellings. It is two storeys high with a basement and has a total of six bays, with the outer bays slightly projecting and featuring low-pitched hipped eaves roofs supported by deep brackets. There are two brick ridge stacks topped with ten terracotta chimney pots. The building is finished in unpainted render, with a rubble stone basement and an ashlar plinth, along with ashlar surrounds for the ground floor openings.
The outer bays, designated as Nos 1 and 4, each have a pair of first-floor two-pane horned sash windows. On the ground floor of No 1, there is a four-paned sash window set in a minimal pedimented ashlar surround, while the entrance to No 4 features a broad ashlar pedimented doorway with similar minimal mouldings to the window of No 1. This entrance has a 20th-century door with sidelights and is accessed by a broad flight of steps. The entrance to No 1 is located in the windowless left side wall and has a pilastered pedimented ashlar surround for its 20th-century door.
The central section, comprising Nos 2 and 3, includes a sill band at ground floor level that is interrupted in the centre for two ashlar framed moulded shouldered doorways, which are also accessed via a flight of steps. These doorways are flanked by four-pane horned sash windows set in ashlar moulded shouldered surrounds. Above each of these windows are plain four-pane sashes. The doors have been replaced with 20th-century versions since 1981.
On the eastern end wall of No 4, there is a large ashlar triple window with long lights that have arched heads, along with impost and key blocks, and narrow sidelights. The eastern end wall and the northern rear elevation feature arched cellar entrances, originally fitted with a door and a small side light beneath a single semi-circular brick low arch, which have survived as original features for Nos 1 and 4 on the eastern end wall.
