The subjects comprise a category C-listed stone built former schoolhouse that has been converted into office accommodation, surmounted by a pitched and slated roof. The subjects have been further extended by means of more modern stone-built extension, surmounted by part metal-based panelling and part pitched and slated roof tiles.
Internally the subjects have been modernised to a high standard, with the original building entered by means of a typical vestibule, which leads directly into a reception hallway. Entry can also be taken via the front of the modern extension, which leads directly into a staff/kitchenette area.
The modern extension is currently set out to provide six cellular offices, a board/meeting room, staff accommodation, ancillary storage and W/C facilities. The traditional school building consists of an open planned office layout with a raised steel supported mezzanine that provides further office space, with further storage space, a reception area and rear meeting room.
