House West Of Bewicke School

This is a house located west of Bewicke School, originally built in 1878 by J. Johnstone for the Wallsend School Board. It was designed as a school caretaker's house and is now a private residence. The building is constructed from snecked sandstone with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. It features a renewed tiled roof with stone gable copings.

The house has an L-plan layout, is two storeys high, and consists of two bays. There is a four-panelled door in the left return, which is situated under a three-paned overlight. The left bay has paired sash windows that are set back, while the right bay is gabled and includes a canted bay window beneath paired sashes and a relieving arch. All windows have stone mullions, alternate block jambs, and chamfered surrounds.

Additional architectural details include eaves corbel tables and a roll-moulded apex to the gable coping, which rests on moulded kneelers. The plinth and sloped coping lead up to a ridge chimney stack.
