Mid-Victorian manse with adjoining school room.

Original flanking windows on both floors; plain 2-pane sashes with marginal glazing and projecting slate sills. A short section of wall adjoins flush to the L and stands to a height of approximately 3m; 4-panelled door to the centre. Adjoining the manse to the R, set back slightly, though continuously-roofed with it, is the school room. This has an entrance to the L with 6-panel door and rectangular overlight. To the R of this are 2 large sash windows with marginal glazing and sills as before.  

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.  

Listed as a mid-Victorian village manse and school room retaining good original character in a prominent road-side location. Group value with the adjacent chapel.
