Description
The building is a school and former schoolmaster's house, constructed in 1858. It is made of stone-dressed brick and features banded shaped-tile roofs. The layout is H-shaped, with the right leg serving as the school hall and the left leg as a two-storey house, while the cross-piece is also two storeys and shared between the two functions. The school has cast iron lattice windows with grouped trefoil lancets, while the house features shoulder-arched windows. There are two boarded doors, one for the school and one for the house, located in the central link beneath shoulder-arches, with a gabled oriel above on the upper storey. The building has coped gables with stone kneelers and finials; the gable over the school includes an open corbelled gabled belfry with a bell. At the rear, to the right, there is a second schoolroom built in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, along with outside closets. The exterior is a well-detailed Picturesque composition and remains largely unaltered.
