Description
The Old School House is a one-and-a-half-storey building featuring a main house with a gabled wing that contains the school room, located towards the right side. Constructed of rubble stone, it has original openings with moulded surrounds and hood moulds over the windows. The roof is thatched, with a stack positioned at the junction of the main house and the wing, and another stack to the left of the house.
An added outshut porch is located at the front, in the angle between the main house and the wing. To the left of the porch, there is a window that has been inserted into an original opening, while the wing features an attic casement that has also been inserted into an original opening at the gable end. The left gable end of the house has a stepped external stack, with an attached garden wall adjacent to it. At the back, the main house includes an added conservatory and two three-light mullioned and transomed attic windows beneath eyebrow dormers. Additionally, there is another attic casement inserted in an original opening to the left, above the school room. The side wall of the school room has an inserted door and window.
Inside the porch, there is a Tudor-headed doorway leading into the house, and a former Tudor-headed doorway to the school room, which is only visible from inside the school room. The school room retains a Tudor-headed fireplace. Within the house, a turning wooden stair provides access to all upstairs rooms, including two rooms situated above the school room.
