Description

House, formerly school. Dated 1742, altered C19. Rendered granite rubble stone and Swithland slate roof with two ridge stacks and a rear right end stack, all rendered. Entrance faces garden. One storey of four 2/2 sash windows with door and 1 light to left and door to right. Part glazed veranda. To rear, facing Castle Hill, a door with overlight and 6 windows, mostly 8 pane top opening. On left gable end a further 8 pane and a slate tablet inscribed ?This English School for poor boys out of Mountsorrel and Swithland given by Joseph Danvers, Esq. 1742?. The roof appears to have C19 trusses but the massive chamfered purlins are probably original.
