Description
Detached three-bay two-storey with central gablet former school master's house, built c.1910, now in use as house. Recent extension to rear (east). Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth.

Rendered boundary walls with gate piers and cast-iron gate to side (north) and rubble limestone boundary walls to rear.
Appraisal
A fine example of a school master's house built in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is an interesting reminder of the housing provisions which were made for school masters at the time. Its balanced proportions and original features including timber sliding sash windows and defining gablet, are typical features of this building type. Despite modification, it retains much of its original style and character.
