Description
The former farm buildings located north-west of Terra Nova School are a linked group dating from the late 17th century, now repurposed as a chapel, classrooms, and a laboratory. They are constructed from brown brick in English garden wall and Flemish bonds, topped with slate roofs from various periods. The buildings are two storeys high and consist of five bays, with a six-bay west return and a four-bay east return, forming a "U" shaped plan.
The south-facing front elevation features a stone plinth and flush stone quoins, with large oak timbers and gudgeons at the east end that indicate two large door openings, which are now blocked. A new carriage opening with a segmental arch has been created between the fourth and fifth bays. Both the west and east returns have gabled roofs. The west return includes an original stone mullion window at the first floor, stone stepped labels above two altered ground floor windows, a blocked stone dressed door opening with a deep Tudor arched lintel, and a wide boarded loft door on strap hinges within a stone dressed opening. The brickwork includes old bricks with blue header courses and flush quoins at the rear north-east and north-west corners. The east return features a saw tooth course at the center of a three-course deep band. The windows are now generally 1-to-4-light flush casements. This group of buildings is included for its group value.
