School house. Dated 1845, using earlier C17 features and with C20 repairs.
Slatestone rubble, partly rendered, with granite dressings. Slate roof with ridge

Plan: 2-room plan with central entrance through a porch; originally partitioned
internally, each room heated from a rear lateral stack. The right gable end faces

tiles are hand made crested. Porch has re-used granite 4-centred arched outer
doorway; the right side has a re-used granite 2-light with 3-centred arched lights.
Inner half-glazed door. To right, two 18-pane sashes with thick glazing bars, ovolo
moulded inside and flat-faced outside, re-used from Carnanton House when the house
was re-windowed in C19, in exposed boxes, with crown glass. To left a 2-light
chamfered granite window and 16-pane horizontal sliding sash at ground floor. 2-
light 6-pane casement at upper level. Partly repaired in brick to left. The left
end is blind, partly rendered at upper level. The right gable end faces the garden
in front of Carnanton House; the gable is raised with stone coping and stone
bellcote. Large 2-light window with cusped lights and Y tracery, lattice glazing
with stained glass in the upper tracery, dated, with the initials HW for Humphrey
Willyams. The rear is blind.
Interior: The schoolroom is ceiled; the room to left has stone paving in a polygonal
pattern. In the ceiling are 2 stencilled fittings for lamps, with the original lamps
remaining. There is a gallery above the room to left, balustrade with stick
balusters.
