What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey former school, dated 1834, having lower double-height entrance porch to front (east) elevation with recent lean-to porch addition, single-storey lean-to extension to north elevation, and recent single-storey extension with hipped roof to rear. Now in use as heritage centre. Hipped artificial slate roof. Render removed exposing rubble sandstone walls, round-headed recess to front elevation of porch with inscribed slate plaque, rectangular panels between floors in front elevation. Square-headed window openings, some with cut-stone sills, and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door openings with replacement uPVC doors. Set back from road in own grounds, with rubble stone boundary walls.
Formerly a school, this building continues to serve an important social function as a heritage centre. Although altered and extended, the symmetrical form of the original building is still evident and the front elevation is enlivened by the tall recess to the porch.
