Description
This is an early to mid-19th century school with an attached school house, now serving as a nursery school and house. Constructed of dressed sandstone, the building features a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof with stone ridge and gable copings, and a stone ridge stack at the left end of the school.
The school itself is a single-storey structure of five bays, with hollow-chamfered cross windows. A slightly projecting, gabled porch, formed at the angle where the school and house meet, contains a Tudor-arched doorway and a diagonally-boarded door secured by ornamental iron hinges. A stone fleuron finial tops the porch gable. A small extension is situated at the right end of the school.
The house, attached to the left, forms a projecting gabled cross wing. It is two storeys high and one bay wide. Access to the house is from the school porch and from the rear. It has a hollow-chamfered cross window on the ground floor and a mullioned window on the first floor, both with sashes and hoodmoulds. A string course runs between the floors and at the eaves of the left return, where there are similar windows in the left gable end. A slightly lower, two-storey rear extension is attached to the house, along with lower, single-storey rear extensions for the school.
The school's interior features Queen-post roof trusses with arched braces.
