Description
The school building, reputedly dating from 1650, is constructed of roughly-laid ironstone rubble with a stone tiled roof. It is a single-story structure with a doorway on the left side of the main facade, framed by a chamfered stone architrave and a hood mould. To the right of the doorway are three windows, each featuring three round-headed lights set beneath drop-ended hood moulds. A sundial is positioned above the door. A single four-light stone mullioned window, with ovolo moulding, is located in the gable, featuring a king mullion and a hood mould. The gables are coped with moulded kneelers.
