Description

Friends Sunday School, originally the Friends Meeting House, is a 19th-century building that has been altered. It is constructed of brown brick in an irregular English garden wall bond and features a grey slate roof. The building is two stories high and has 9-pane casement windows of a 19th-century vernacular style facing the road.

On the left gable end, there is an external stair with stone treads, a quarter-landing, brick risers, and stone-coped brick parapets. This stair serves as a porch for the entrance to the lower storey, which has replaced boarded doors. There are vertical oval windows on each side of the upper door and a horizontal leaded oval window in the gable above the door. The opposite gable end has similar windows, but the upper window is blocked.

At the rear, there is a late 19th-century open slate-roofed brick outshut. A cast iron plate is inscribed with "7 OAK TREES PLANTED 1897 IN THIS THE FRIENDS MEETING HOUSE YARD FRANDLEY, TO COMMEMORATE THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF QUEEN VICTORIA, SEVENOAKS BEING THE NAME OF THE TOWNSHIP." The yard is enclosed by an attached stone-coped brick wall that rises with quadrant steps on each side, leading to a repaired gateway.

Inside, the building has been altered, but features a chamfered oak beam on the upper floor. The roof structure is boxed in, although shaped supporting brackets for the central truss remain visible.
