Description
Buddle School House is a caretaker's house built in 1876 by J Johnstone in Newcastle for the Wallsend Schools Board. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The building has a T-plan and is designed in the Scottish baronial style. The central entrance consists of a 4-panelled door with an overlight set under a relieving arch. To the left, there is one window beneath a hipped half dormer, and another window under a similar dormer in the inner return of the projecting blank gabled right bay. All windows are sashes with late 19th-century glazing bars, alternate-block jambs, and sloping sills. The house has high crow-stepped gables supported by moulded kneelers and two tall moulded and corniced ashlar chimneys. It is included for its group value with the Buddle Arts Centre on Station Road.
