Description
The Students Union building at High Melton College is an early 20th-century village hall designed in the Arts and Crafts style. It features pebble-dashed walls and a graduated Westmorland slate roof, with a T-shaped plan that includes a gabled, two-storey central block and single-storey side wings at the rear.
The central entrance has a distinctive doorcase with double doors and an overlight beneath a moulded basket arch made of herringbone-tooled ashlar. The architrave is elevated over two flattened-ogee panels, and the consoled cornice is intricately carved with oak leaves and roses. On either side of the entrance, there are round-headed, single-light windows with moulded, quoined surrounds and dripstones. Above the door, a five-light window features recessed, cavetto-moulded, ogee-headed lights and a dripstone. The stair projection on the right has tall windows.
The building's decorative elements include carved kneelers on the cornices that return on the side walls, as well as moulded gable copings. The left wing, which is set back, has two transomed two-light windows beneath a shaped gable, with a door on the right that has a moulded surround, a carved lintel, and a bracketed hood. The right wing, also set back, contains a door only and features battered wallstone stalks with a cornice at the rear.
On the left return, there is a projection with a double-transomed three-light window and a cornice beneath a Diocletian window and a shaped gable, flanked by round-headed windows with two lights and a transom. The right return has an angled stair projection with a three-light window, mirroring the design of the left return.
