Former Collierley National School

The Former Collierley National School is a 19th-century building that features a master's house oriented north to south, facing the main road, with a rectangular cross-wing that serves as the schoolroom. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs.

The main east elevation showcases the schoolroom, which is a prominent, double-height cross-wing with notable kneelers. It includes a stepped mullioned and transomed tripartite window with a ventilation grill above, all within a stone surround. A wedge lintel indicates the location of a blocked boys’ entrance at the east end of the north wall. Attached to this is a three-bay master's house, which has a central entrance set in a gabled, segmental-headed stone porch that is neatly blocked with coursed sandstone. The porch is inscribed with "1846/COLLIERLEY NATIONAL SCHOOL." Flanking the porch are double-height cross-windows, and there are ridge chimneystacks on both the left and right sides.

On the rear west elevation, there is a blocked stair light for the master's house and a small single-storey lean-to extension that obscures the original ground-floor elevation. The rear of the schoolroom is similarly detailed to the main elevation. However, the later 19th-century school board extension to the south, the later 19th-century master's house to the north, and the later 19th-century rear lean-to extension are not considered of special interest.

Inside, the former master's house consists of a single full-height space with boarded wainscoting and plain plaster walls above. The plaster ceiling reveals the lower parts of the roof trusses. The original parlour fire breast is visible on the south wall, with a window to the adjoining schoolroom located to its left. The schoolroom features plain plaster walls and a ceiling similar to that of the master's house, but it is divided into two by a lightweight modern timber partition.
