PLAN: the original school and master's house occupied the timber-framed west range at right-angles to the road. In about the early C18 a brick extension was built at the rear [east]. In 1821 the early C18 wing was rebuilt with a kitchen and school room on the ground floor and two rooms over, facing the road [north] .Later in the C19 [circa 1882] the school was converted into cottages and a shop, a single storey cross-wing was built at the east end and a two-storey outshut built at the rear [south] .The three cottages are now two dwellings.

EXTERIOR: two storeys. Timber-framed three-window range facing west, with largely C20 casements, C20 glazed door on right and extended in brick on left [north]. North front has symmetrical two-storey two-window range at centre, with C19 three-light casements with glazing bars and sandstone lintels and cills [ground floor right casement replaced], blocked centre doorway and doorways to left and right with flush-panel doors; gabled cross-wing left and right, the left with C19 three-light casement. At rear [south] , two-storey outshut with late C20 timber balcony, circa early C18 brick wall to left and timber-frame west range to left of that.

INTERIOR: the right [south] room of original west range has chamfered cross-beam and gable end fireplace with large timber bressumer and exposed wall-framing. Lychgate Cottage has some C19 panelled and ledged doors and a wide staircase.

NOTE: the school was endowed in 1607 and 1719, and extended in 1821. In 1882 it was replaced by a Board school on another site to the south south east, and became cottages and a shop.
