What is recorded here
Detached two-bay single-storey school with attic storey, built c.1820, having projecting gabled porch. Now in use as house. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with square-headed openings having stone sills, double six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to front and replacement uPVC windows to gables. Triangular window inserted in east gable. Pointed-arch entrance with stone step and timber herringbone battened door.
This building is an interesting example of modest school houses in Ireland and is a notable feature within Castletown village. It retains much of its original form and this is enhanced by the retention of features such as the paired timber sash windows.
