Originally Kingarth School with a schoolroom occupying the ground floor and teacher?s accommodation above. The school became redundant in 1892 with the erection of a larger building to its E (no longer a school). Despite the conversion to bed and breakfast accommodation, the loss of some glazing and various additions either side, the Old Schoolhouse retains a degree of architectural interest. Of particular note is the bowed stair tower.
