What is recorded here

Detached two-bay two-storey school house, built c.1880, with lean-to three-bay single-storey porch to north elevation. Now in use as private house. Pitched slate roofs having brick chimneystacks and rooflight. Rendered walls with limestone plaque over doorway. Square-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows, six-over-six pane to first floor and two-over-two to addition, with tripartite casements to southeast and northeast elevations, with stone sills. Timber battened door. Dressed limestone piers and rubble limestone boundary walls to site with wrought-iron gate.
The scale and form of this building suggest that it was a school house with a teacher's residence on the first floor. The building may have been built by the Trant family who lived in Dovea House to the north-west as several buildings in the village appear to have been under their patronage. The brick chimneystacks, slate roofs and timber sash windows are interesting features of the building.
