Description
Loughborough Grammar School Boarding House is a grammar school boarding house built in 1852 by John Morris and Charles Hebson. The building is constructed of red brick with burnt headers and stone dressings, topped with a slate roof. It features a "Tudor Gothic" revival style and stands two stories tall with an attic. The facade has three window ranges, arranged as 1-1-1, with coped gabled projections at the sides and rectangular projecting bay windows at ground floor level. The windows are mostly mullioned and transomed sashes, with some featuring hoodmoulds. There are three-light windows in the gables, and a central gabled dormer that breaks through the eaves. The left-hand end has a stack, and there is a ridge stack between the central and right-hand bays, which rises as four octagonal shafts. An arched entrance leads into a porch on the right-hand return front, above which is a canted oriel window. An inscription is carved on a bracket above the entrance.
