What is recorded here
Detached five-bay part single part two-storey Tudor-style national school built c.1840 and now in use as house. The national school consists of two gable-fronted two-storey ‘wings’ linked by a single-storey with attic section, which itself has a gable-ended projecting porch. It is constructed in rubble with brick lintels, whilst the pitched roof is slated and has stone parapets with corbels, rendered chimneystacks and some Velux windows. The entrance is to the south face of the porch. The windows are flat-headed and mainly have lattice-paned timber casement frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted timber shop signboard over one of the ground floor windows to front. The national school is set along the side of a road and surrounded by a spacious garden.
Distinctive Tudor-influenced national school of c.1840 which is perhaps the highlight of the semi-rural Laragh ‘streetscape’.
