Mylnhurst Convent School and Adjoining Stable Range

House, now convent school, and adjoining stable range, dated 1883, built for William Greaves Blake. The building is constructed in coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, topped by a coped multiple ridge stack. The style is Eclectic Renaissance Revival.

The exterior features a plinth, string course, sillband, moulded eaves, and moulded coped gables of various forms. The building is two storeys with a 3 by 7 window arrangement. Windows throughout have stone surrounds, mullions and transoms.

The entrance front has a recessed centre containing a double plain sash window above a 4-light lancet with transom. To the left stands a shouldered Flemish gable with a canted 2-storey stone bay window topped by a hipped stone roof with lucarnes and cast-iron crest. Below this are 3 cusped single lancets and 3 plain sashes. To the right is a similar but smaller projecting gable with a double plain sash above a pointed arched doorway with ornamented spandrels. The recessed door has etched glass round-headed lights, a moulded surround, fanlight, hoodmould and stops.

The shouldered right gable displays a slit window in the peak and a cross casement on the ground floor. The right return features a square staircase tower in 2 stages with moulded string courses, billeted corbel table and stepped crenellated parapet. A higher external coped stack rises to the left. A segmental pointed first floor opening with enriched tympanum contains a cross casement with shafts. Below is a stepped triple lancet stair window with shafts and linked hoodmould. To the right is a projecting block with off-centre Flemish gable and pierced balustrade, containing a cross casement and double lancet above, with a 3-light mullioned window below. To the left are 3-light mullioned windows on each floor. A slightly projecting parapeted porch with moulded elliptical arched doorway stands to the right.

A stone bridge with timber-framed superstructure and rendered nogging spans the angle between the house and stable range, featuring one double and 2 single lancets with leaded glazing.

The 2-storey stable range has an archway flanked to the left by a canted wooden oriel window, with a segmental pointed doorway and buttress below to the left.

The garden front comprises a 3-bay main block to the right with recessed centre featuring a pierced balustrade. Two 2-light mullioned windows appear on each floor, the upper ones smaller. Above is a gabled through-eaves dormer with cross casement. On either side are projecting wings with shouldered Flemish gables. The right wing has a 2-storey square bay window with crenellated parapet and 4-light mullioned windows on each floor, the upper with shouldered lights, plus a cross casement above. The left gable has a canted 2-storey bay window with pierced balustrade and 3-light mullioned windows on each floor, the lower in a central hipped projection, with a cross casement above.

A set-back wing to the left contains two 2-light windows above and two 3-light windows below. Further left is a projecting gabled wing with a canted first floor stone oriel window with crenellated parapet, carried on a shaft with cushion capital. The ground floor has 2-light windows on either side.

The interior ground floor front room has a cross beam ceiling with moulded cornice, wooden fireplace and overmantel dating from around 1900.
