Uppingham School Offices and Common Room

Uppingham School Offices and Common Room is a house that now serves as offices and a common room. It was originally built in 1584 and extended in the late 18th century, around 1830, and again in 1970. The building is constructed of coursed squared ironstone and ashlar, topped with a Collyweston stone slate roof, featuring coped gables and stone ridge and end stacks. It has one storey and attics, with the original house designed in an L-shape.

The south front displays three 19th-century two-light windows with chamfered mullions and cornices on the ground floor, along with a two-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned dormer beneath a coped gable with a finial. This dormer resembles those on the adjoining library but appears slightly longer as it protrudes through the cornice. There is also a small hipped two-light 19th-century dormer high in the roof slope, with leaded lights in the upper dormer.

To the west, there is a late 18th-century and 1830 addition made of ashlar, featuring a cross-gabled roof with decorative ridge tiles. This section has two storeys and an attic. The south front of this addition includes two full-length two-light chamfered mullioned windows with a high-set transom on the ground floor, two two-light windows with hood-moulds on the first floor, and a single-light opening in the gable. Decorative rainwater heads are also present.

The west front of the original house is obscured by a one-storey addition from around 1970, which is lit by sash windows and contains the entrance. Two hipped dormers are visible in the roof slope behind this addition. The west front of the late 18th-century and 1830 block features a two-storey canted bay window. The building was originally constructed as the warden's house for a hospital founded by Robert Johnson, Archdeacon of Leicester.
