What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey former school, built 1878, and now in use as a house. The building is finished in roughcast render with a projecting two-storey gabled bay to the south side. The front door is now covered with a glazed porch addition which abuts a flat-roofed addition. Window openings are flat-headed with replacement timber windows many of which are top hung. The pitched roof is finished with artificial slate with serrated clay ridge tiles and uPVC rainwater goods; chimneystacks are rendered with replacement concrete copes and clay pots. The gables have decorative bargeboards formed as king post trusses. The building is slightly set back behind a low rendered wall and the former playground is still in evidence.
Well preserved example of a late Victorian school house which has successfully been converted to a private home. It adds much to the quality of the streetscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
