Description
Belsay County First School is a school building dating from around 1870. It is constructed of snecked stone and features a Welsh slate roof with decorative tile ridge pieces. The building has a T-plan layout and is designed in the Gothic style, consisting of a single storey with four bays.
The second bay includes a steeply-gabled porch that has a boarded door with a shouldered lintel on the right side. The windows are designed as mullioned-and-transomed crosses. To the left of the porch, there is a tall external chimney stack with three offsets. Both ends of the building have large three-light arched windows adorned with geometric tracery.
The roof is steeply pitched, featuring gables with kneelers and flat coping.
