Schoolhouse was built in 1891 presumably for the principal teacher to the adjacent primary school. Providing excellent family living accommodation, great care has been taken to retain the property's original features, which include decorative cornices in the reception rooms, high ceilings and pitch pine doors. Modern updates to the property include double glazing throughout, a new Grant boiler, a new hot water tank and a new electric switch board. The lime harled stone and slate property which is in excellent order is set in beautiful mature grounds to the south and east with herbaceous borders, climbing Virginia Creeper and Hydrangea adorn the property.
