Description
Chaigeley School is a house that has been converted into a boarding school. It was built in the early 19th century, altered in the mid-19th century, and extended to the rear in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of brick with stucco dressings and features a grey slate roof.
The symmetrical front has three storeys and three windows (with five on the third storey) topped by a pediment gable. The entrance is framed by a stucco Roman Doric doorcase that holds a part-glazed six-panel door. On either side of the door are two-storey rendered canted bay windows from the mid-to-late 19th century, each containing four-pane recessed sashes beneath keystone lintels. Above the door is a four-pane sash window set in a shouldered moulded stucco case with an entablature, and there is a similar but shorter window on the third storey, flanked by two flush-frame four-pane sashes under keystone lintels.
Inside, the right front room features a moulded plaster ceiling with geometrical panels, while the left front room has a curved niche in the rear wall. The doors leading from the hall have early 19th-century moulded cases, and there is a late 19th-century open-well staircase. The doors on the upper storeys have six fielded panels.
