The Old School House is a locally listed Arts and Crafts building with pronounced gables and tall mullion windows, giving the building a distinct character within the Church End Conservation Area. Following careful engagement with the community and local interest groups, a scheme emerged which included the introduction of a first floor mezzanine level on the eastern side of the building and the insertion of a wheelchair ramp to provide level access to the building. The proposal also include plans for the refurbishment of the full building and the introduction of a layer of secondary window glazing to improve the building’s energy performance.
