Grade II Listed mid 18th century cottage. The four bedroom property was sympathetically extended to the rear in 2003. The adjacent school building is dated to 1850 and the 1887 OS maps suggest a link with the school and this cottage, although the design and construction is not consistent. The early OS maps also indicate the rear garden was previously truncated just behind the school and the remaining section was part of the school plot of land. The school closed in 1963 but I can't determine how long the cottage was used as accommodation for the school master/mistress.
